But strange enough that is what I did last weekend, as part of Henfield Gardens & Arts Festival.
To limit the pressure (or maybe add to it, I don't know ) I invited 8 artist friends of mine to come join me and exhibit their work in my garden and front room.
And you know what? I ended up loving it!
It was really fun, met loads of fascinating people, the artworks looked awesome and through sales of artworks and donations we raised some much needed money for some fabulous charities!
Here are some of the pieces we had on display....

The sense of being part of the community was great and I got to show off a lot of people artist's work that I really admire.
The real stars of the show though were most definitely the bunnies......
People came to see the garden and art but I think they may of loved the bunnies most :)
I love your garden and everything in it, what a beautiful way to display, and you had the sun :) I wish I had known about this as I live in Sussex now (East), I would have visited. The bunnies are adorable to! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Rosa Lily! I didn't know you lived so near! - hopefully next time (the festival happens every year) you can come and visit - it would be wonderful to meet you finally. Oh we must keep in touch as I'm always doing events around Sussex, maybe you could come to one of those. Sometimes I bring the bunnies too..... x x
