Good morning! Thanks for stopping by. Thursday’s blog is something blue, so I thought I would combine a couple of sets of colouring pencils which sport this colour, Primaries Marine with a look at one of the stamp sets being showcased this coming Sunday on Create & Craft at 9am. It’s pretty spectacular. Let’s break it down. Stamp the funky flowers in Black Archival on our white square Gelli Card. Run a length of low-tack masking tape along the base,…
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by. Wednesday’s blog is something new, so rather than bombard you with more new stencils and stamps, I thought I would revisit an old but beautiful stamp, and apply a new combination of colours, and a rather new application to it. The Dandelion Fairy is very, very lovely… So here’s a delicate application, which I think sits well with her. Cut a piece of Cut n Dry felt to fit the stamp. Stamp the image…
Good Morning! Thanks for stopping by. Here is a technique which folks really enjoyed at a retreat last week. We are going to do this together at another workshop next week too, so if you are joining me then, you have choices: watch now, so you have an idea where we’re headed. don’t watch now, and keep it a surprise. watch now and practice all week. watch now with the sound turned down watch now with your eyes closed. Life…
Good Morning Monday! Thank you for stopping by. Running a little late again, but Romeo the cat just wouldn’t stand still for the pose! Actually, the truth of the matter is that I fell down the stairs yesterday morning, and all I can say is, it wasn’t pretty and it wasn’t graceful! I was more concerned about the cold tea I sprayed all over the walls as I lay there! No, I didn’t regurgitate it! There was some left in…
Hello there! Thank you for stopping by. Rather late today I fear; simply could not get my arse in gear! The sun’s shining bright and the garden is calling, but to not blog at all would be simply appalling! So let’s make it fast and keep it real easy; I promise to not make my ditty too cheesy! A spritz and a splash on some white Gelli Card You have to admit – it isn’t that hard! The Balloon and…
Good morning. Thanks for dropping in. It’s early Saturday morning, and I’m up with the lark, before the house starts moving, and the last day of this first Clarity retreat commences. I have to tell you, it has been one of the best weeks ever for me personally. Spending time with smashing women, most of whom I have known for years, and many of whom have become close friends? If this is work, I don’t mind doing overtime! So I…
Good Morning! Thank you for stopping by. Well, they say the early bird catches the worm. But do they tell you that on Fridays, the early bird doesn’t really care about worms, and would much rather stay in bed?! Day 5 of our Clarity Retreat today. In case you weren’t aware, we have been having a whale of a time here in sunny Crowborough this week. It started with a Royal visit first thing Monday morning, which was all very exciting. We…
Good morning! Thank you for stopping by. I enjoyed blogging at 5 in the morning so much yesterday, thought I’d do it again today! Day 4 of the Clarity Retreats! Yesterday was thoroughly enjoyable; I knew pretty much everybody; half the Design Team is in this particular group! You can imagine, I was wondering what exactly I was going to be teaching them!! But there was no preferential treatment here! They had to do their morning exercises, just like everyone…
Hello there. Thanks for stopping by! I really ought to do this more often. Get up at 5 in the morning, I mean! It is so quiet and cool. The birds are twittering and chatting outside, and I feel really relaxed and happy here, enjoying a cuppa, and spending a little time with you. The last 2 days have been full on. Yesterday evening we waved goodbye to the first group of Clarity friends who joined us for a art-packed…
Hello there! It’s YouTube Tuesday! Thank you for stopping by. Angelina Fibres – an old favourite of mine. There are a few things in the craft world which lend themselves to neat cardwork, abstract artwork, mixed media, textiles – pretty much any application. Fusible fibres are at the top of that list for me.
