Thanks Patsy, for your reply to my blog last summer. My daughter in law had a wonderful tiara! It had more than 1,000 crystals!! it took ages to make but it was worth it. We all had a great day. I haven't done hardly any paintings as I've been busy working and trying to set up a new website. I've also trained to be a Reiki practitioner.....this has helped me to deal with lifes little problems...and I love treating people. I am amazed by the way it works, but I accept that it does and am happy with that. I have put my first efforts with pastel pencils in the gallery. One day I will find the perfect medium for me. I usually work really quickly, so this is good because I have to slow down a bit. I'd love to spend a day with Rolf Harris...he's my idol. Who is your inspiration?
