Hi there! Thanks for popping in again. Wow! You certainly found the flakes and pastes yesterday! How interesting it is to see how many more of us are stretching ourselves in the mixed media world, trying new things. There’s something very freeing about just going with the arty process, isn’t there? And I’ve learned not to be so judgemental of my own work, too. Right. Day 2 in the Clarity House, and what’s on offer for 24 hours? WOOHOO!! My…

Got a lot on my plate… Here’s a little step by step, using one of the new 2-way bauble stamps I drew. These are proving to be very popular indeed, so the more ideas, the better, eh! Let’s begin. Load the negative image, the second stamp…

Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Wet, innit? Well it’s waining cats n dogs here darn sarf, I can tell you!! Just drove home from the office. Most treacherous conditions really. Dark, flooded, tipping down, and a load of oblivious nutters hell bent on killing us all. So I am very glad to be parked and in the warm. I recently did a project for the New Design Die Club using the new umbrella die, but then decided against the…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Bit of a runaround today. Made an early dash for Gillingham, before the traffic congestion clogged up all our Kentish arteries, in good time for a hearty breakfast with my parents. Went with Mum and Dad to Macknades, Faversham, because we do like a destination when we take a drive out. Macknades: excellent, BOOMING farmshop. A lovely and very different selection of fresh produces and delicacies. Bit like Fortnum & Masons came to Kent,…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. It’s pottery this afternoon, so I’ve been obsessing about what to do. Christmas is looming, want to make gifts – so I’m going on the wheel today. It’s by far the fastest way forward. And now I’ve learned how to use a bat as well, my olive dishes have turned into salad bowls! Well, let’s say cereal bowls… look? See these little diddy ones? So that was pretty exciting, even to get to that…

Then Paul is launching a not to…
