大象传媒 Birmingham achieves world record for face painting
|
大象传媒 Children in Need in Birmingham got itself into the record books - breaking the world record for face painting.
听
A five-strong team of face-painters led by Helen Elvins of Faces Unlimited in
Redditch notched up an astonishing 1,071 faces in four hours yesterday - each of them
verified as different by a Guinness Book of World Records adjudicator -
smashing the previous record by 82.
听
And Rosey Jones from Telford took the individual world record by painting 113
people in just an hour.
听
Children bussed in from schools in Kings Heath, Rubery, Handsworth, Castle
Bromwich and Edgbaston all received certificates commemorating their part in
the record which previously stood at 989.
听
Passers by, workers on lunch
breaks and staff from 大象传媒 Birmingham joined in to keep the momentum going.
听
The rules were strict with each face created by using three colours, one on a
sponge and two on brushes, with every one of them having to be different. 听
