About the author

Klutz is a publishing company started in Palo Alto, California in 1977 and acquired by Scholastic Inc. in 2002. The first Klutz book was a how-to guide titled Juggling for the Complete Klutz, which came provided with juggling beanbags attached in a mesh bag. The book was created by three friends who graduated from Stanford University: Darrell Lorentzen, John Cassidy, and B.C. Rimbeaux. Since then the company has continued to specialize in activity-driven books sold along with other items needed for the activity. Not all the books are about developing a skill; there has also been a geography book containing, among other physical attachments, packets of rice corresponding to the average daily caloric intake among the poorest people of the world. Many of their books are spiral bound and teach various crafts. The items needed are usually included with the book, e.g. the juggling guide. The Klutz credo is: Create wonderful things, be good, have fun.

I loved this book. I would paint my mom’s face and my own face. There was a wide array of unique designs to choose from, and I especially loved the small designs you could do on your cheek. I even used the face painting skills I used in this book to absolutely win an Easter fair at the face painting booth. Still a great resource, with nontoxic paints and great imagination. A simple and comprehensive way to learn face painting.

Loved this book as a kid. My mom used it for reference all the time. I think she still may have it!
