Diary Of An Artist In A New World

Hens Night For Rowena Tindal

Rowena is very special and so she must attract special friends. Siobhan was the best organizer possible, the twins were enchanting, in fact I loved everyone. Someone wrote in the guest book "When will you have us back again?" - I wish you could all come back again.

Arty Party For Kelly Murphy

This Saturday, the 13th, was memorable for the wonderful hens groups we had. I know why Kelly is so beautiful, because she has a very beautiful mum, although Kelly might not have thought so at a certain time when mum said "You can keep your veil on."

Jilly Andrews Arty Party Fun

These photos show the fun arty party held here at East Sydney Academy of Art for Jilly Andrews and her beautiful friends. I was very sorry to see them go, they seemed right at home soon as they walked into the bohemian surrounds of the studio.

Ali Marshall Had A Fun Hens Party

Ali wrote in the guestbook that this was "Brilliant!!" That perfectly summed up what I thought about her and her friends. We had fun too. I hope you like the photos.

Exhaustion

I got 8 hours sleep last night. I still feel like I could sleep for 8 hours more. People don't realize how much effort goes into preparing for these hens nights, and of course as well as preparing for the hens, I try to squeeze in a little of the web stuff I need to be doing, and end up spending a few days trying to survive on 2 or 3 hours sleep like the last couple of days.

This weekend I had 2 hens groups. They were delightful women, the sort of women to make one feel glad to be alive. Even though it is a lot of work to make certain they have the best event possible, it is also very joyful seeing the work rewarded by their obvious enjoyment of the event.

And then afterward I had my boys for dinner. Last night we ordered-in pizzas. They liked that. Sadly I was so tired that I feel asleep in my chair. After I took them back home I set to work cleaning up. It was 5 in the morning by the time I had finished. and there were stacked rows of clean glasses, plates, bowls, the rubbish out, floor cleaned, and I dragged my sore feet to bed.

Lee-anne Katz: Beautiful Bride-To-Be, Beautiful Friends

Lee-anne Katz had the perfect hens Arty Party except for one thing - Keri was sick and could not attend. She had been such a good organizer. There is an art to organizing groups, and Keri knew how to get it just right, so I was sorry not to see her.

Having said that Lee-anne and her friends were a wonderful and elegant group who were a pleasure to entertain. We loved their company and it seemed they were having a fabulous time. Here is their album of photos:

Chantelle Hamilton: An Unforgettable Hens Night

Chantelle was wearing a beautiful extra bum. A bum that was admired by many, and became the subject of numerous photos and drawings. It was all in good fun. She had been proposed to on the top of the Eiffel Tower, and everything was continuing the magic, including this night. Here is Chantelle and friends celebrating at our Arty Party.

Jodie Mahoney - A Small, But Quality Arty Party

Jodie and her friends proved to be one of the most talented groups we have ever had as can be seen in the photos. They also loved our new French model, and I think he felt very welcome.

Kylie Newman, Beautiful Bride To Be

Kylie has the sweetest bunch of friends. It is a pity they live out Liverpool way because I would love to see them more often. It was sad to see them go.

Tanya Schmid, A Hens Party To Remember

From the moment they arrived, Tanya's hens party was buzzing. Kate wrote in the guest book "Everything I wanted for my friends but didn't know I wanted." What a beautiful thing to say. The event did have that feeling of being just right for everyone, and with just the right amount of surprise for all.
