Princess Etch

Princess Etch will arrive with her custom-preserved Etch A Sketches at the ready. She will have an assistant with her who will help to finish the preservation process after portraits are complete. Guests sit across from Princess Etch as she renders portraits in minutes. Venues are welcome to provide equipment so that her work can be projected for audiences to more easily see. Otherwise, it's advisable to place her in a location where foot traffic can easily get around as crowds typically stick around to watch her work. All that is required is a table, 4 chairs, decent lighting, and access to a power outlet.

Princess Etch will sit across from guests and render their portrait using the two knobs of an Etch A Sketch while having pleasant conversation. Upon portrait completion, guests are welcome to leave their art until the end of the event, which gives other guests an opportunity to check out renditions that were made before theirs. People often check in to see how portraits of their friends and loved ones turned out. Portraits are decoratively packaged and include special care cards for those who might be nervous about bringing an Etch A Sketch home. The art is made completely permanent, and the care card explains the preservation process and includes information on how to best display the work.
