Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Been beavering away here in our little artroom above the garage with Paul. Very constructive say – well pleased with the demos for Sunday – hope you will be too! And whilst we were working away, we had Tina on in the background, being her usual modestly amazing self. She blows me away. Not only does she design all the plates, and pretty much give us camera ready artwork – she then trundles up…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in! Just got back from pottery. Had a great afternoon, although my new batch of tiles aren’t coming along as well as the first lot! First time I made tiles, I just went for it – didn’t know what I was doing. This time I was trying to remember what I did (note to self: must take notes), and I think I overthunk it. Still. Who’s to say. They may be wonderful. And if they’re…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Horrible weather down in Kent today! But here at Clarity we’ve been beavering away, making Leonie’s hundreds – nay – thousands of stencils, gearing up for this weekend’s TV – and generally being über-productive! We are so busy. Whatever happened to a slow start in January? And on that note, what happened to January??? Where did THAT month go?!?!? One minute, we’re all hugging each other and pretending we know the words to Auld…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Monday blogs are ideal for showcasing our 4 core products of the month nowadays, and this Monday it’s Stencil of the Month. Here’s a delightful art sample made by another Barbara – Barbara Lancaster! And what a delightful piece of artwork this is! I LOVE the shrunkled baby elephant. That’s impressive. I remember visiting the Elephant Orphanage in Sri Lanka many moons ago; the little baby elephants were too cute. I also remember seeing…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. No kisses today! Best stay away! I is chock full – and it’s gone straight to the chest – via the ears nose and throat! Lovely. Bloody lovely. Feels like I’ve been hit by a truck. But I haven’t; it’s nothing that a load of vitamin C and zinc won’t sort out. Been prepping for next Sunday’s TV all day. I have a feeling that Old Man Time may get tight this week, so…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Trying to tidy this ‘ere workspace in readiness for what’s coming up – TV shows, new products, new directions. It’s like painting the Golden Gate Bridge; by the time you’ve finished it, you can start again! Hey ho! I found a really cool piece of stencil, which I think I may have a little play with today. I say piece, because I definitely cut it out of a larger whole a while ago! After…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Long days here at the moment. But I must say, today got off to a belting start with Leonie! What a cracking show at 8 am!! And those funky Leonie-style stencils !!! Sold out?!?!? We were on the phone within minutes, doubling stock levels, trebling stock levels – it went into meltdown!! I was jumping up and down on the spot, clapping and cheering Leonie on, whilst sweet-talking my darling brother Steve into working…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Late night here. Spent the afternoon in London with an accountant. All good, but my brain feels like any ONE of these four stencils which lovely Leonie is launching with Clarity tomorrow!! They are super duper frameless and fab. Leonie designed ‘em – and we made ‘em! Here’s to a wonderful partnership! I had a little play with this one when we got in – just to try and unravel, unwind… Maybe we should…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Baby plates galore! Linda Williams has design a wonderful collection of Baby Plates for all our Groovi friends. They will work sooooo beautifully with those delicate lace grid duets! I just wish I had more time – but you know what they say: be careful what you wish for! So while Paul wings his way up to the TV Studios, ready for this evening’s launch at 6pm, let’s look at these superb A5sq. plates,…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Folks often ask me for more Gelpress demos, so here’s a YouTube using a 6” x 6”, some acrylic paint, plus one of my favourite dies . You don’t often see dies and paint on the same deck, so I hope you enjoy this project! Every so often you make something cool, don’t you? Well, I have to tell you, I was chuffed with this little canvas. Here are the things you need if…
