The last craft fair I was at was just over a few months ago. I had a small line waiting at my table for custom embroidery but next to me was an artist that had a waiting line that was almost 6 people long at all times. What that person was doing was Airbrush Tattoos. If people were not in line for a painted on tattoo then they were there watching. Of course we are all fascinated with artists that do work in front of others, it simply makes for good business. My daughter was with me a begged for a tattoo and I told her only if she paid for it. She asked how much a tattoo was and found out she did not have enough money for one. They were charging $12 and up for a non-permanent tattoo!
It got me to thinking about what that person was doing. I had always been fascinated by airbrush painting and once in awhile I would see an airbrush t-shirt artist at the state fair. So far I had seen airbrush work done on people and T-shirts but no where else. The possibilities I was thinking of were airbrush quilt squares or airbrush decorated dresses.
Of course the paint for fabric would be different from the paint used on people. It would need to be colorfast, non-toxic and non-irritating. Also a person would need to have lots of practice with the airbrush before going public with it but it might be worth a try. Start up costs would be very low on that type of business. If you love to paint and want an outlet for your creative side then airbrush art might be for you.
