just finished a commission...of a budda something very different to I've made before...i really enjoyed making it , it was so different to what I've made before - thankfully the chap was very pleased with it - so much so that he hasn't put it in his garden but inside because he wants to be able to see it all the time ! - i thought that was a really nice compliment

off to cornwall for a couple of weeks at the weekend ....fingers crossed that the weather improves

I'm doing the 1st of the two shows tomorrow & Monday ...typical english weather - its forecast 60mm of rain over the two days...yikes

as well as my faeries I have made some giraffes & pigs as something different thought it would be a good time to show them off - i finished them this morning - talk about last minute...

phew...I have just finished 30 ( yes 30 ) new pieces i have been so very busy...I've loved it I always seem to make my best work when I'm busy  - I still have lots to do for the 2 shows I'm doing but I'm very pleased that i have finished these pieces , can't seem to upload any photos at the moment i will try later  - I've added them to my website if anyone is interested in seeing them www.karen-williams.co.uk  on the for sale page....again all comments will be greatly appreciated

feeling much happier now....I've picked myself up & its spurned me on to doing something positive...as I've said before I don't normally do shows - usually just selling my work via galleries , but I'm now doind two shows & a solo exhibition . The first is a arts & garden fesival where people open up their gardens for the public to see & in each garden there is also a artist displaying their work - I thought i would give this a go as it will display my work well, its at the end of May in a nice village not too far away,so hopefully the weather will have picked up by then . The 2nd show is a huge arts festival at Patchings farm at the begining of June so I'm really really busy making loads of new work - love being busy today is the 1st day I've taken off in weeks , & thats only because my wonderful dog Fraiser has donated blood again this morning. oh I'm sooooooooo proud of him....hes zonked out fast asleep on the sofa now he didn't even know he had had anything done - he had 3 nurses tickling his tummy so he just layed their & enjoyed all the attention

know i shouldn't but i feel grumpy today...yesterday I did a show at the 'all fools gathering' a pagan event....& I had no interest at all, I know i shouldn't take it personally but i put my heart & soul into my work & how ever hard I try i still feel 'rejected' - daft I know but ..... also i think the real reason I feel down is that today is the last day I'll see my very good friends as they are of to Australia to live

hopefully feel better tomorrow
