A mother and daughter have leaned into their passion for art and launched a business venture together.
Mythical Makeovers is a face painting and children's party service based in Dereham and bookable across Norfolk.
It was launched by Shannon Hyne, 30, and her mum Marie Evans, 59, at the end of 2023 after a turbulent few years in their personal lives.
Ms Hyne said she "fell in love" with art at age five when she would watch her mum face paint at various events.

Her career took her down various paths, training in hair and beauty, tattooing, nail artistry and forensic psychology.
But it was after the loss of her mum's partner last year that the pair decided to properly return to face paint.
Ms Hyne said: "Everything got a bit crazy for five or six months, but we recently settled into our new lives and routines and decided it was the perfect time to start back up.
"We are still fine-tuning a few things, getting on our feet and practicing lots - my poor kids now hate face paint.
"We have loved seeing the joy on kids' - and adults' - faces when they see their new look.
"We just enjoy bringing a bit of happiness and sparkle to someone's day."
Mythical Makeovers seeks to stand out from competitors by adding a personal touch with unique designs catered to the client.
