Hi there! So glad you have popped in. Here’s a short video, showing off ye old brayering technique . There’s no harm in revisiting old skills. Actually, it’s like putting on a comfortable pair of old shoes, when you go back to your stash of skills and pull a golden oldie out of the bag. Enjoy!

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Get the kettle on – It’s been one of those days! And it ain’t over yet… So let’s just go up on the forest, and calm it Kermit! Whilst endeavouring to clean up the pit which is my artroom today, I came across a scrap I used on  US TV last week whilst showing the difference between  Archival Potting Soil – a permanent ink pad,  and Espresso Adirondack – a dye-based ink pad. Here…

Hello there!Glad you dropped in. Been a lovely day!  Thoroughly enjoyed the company of my dear friend Debby Berry. Hence the rather tardy blog. But what is this life all about if I can’t spend a day  with a good friend? So here’s a quickie that I did for one of the US TV shows last week, using our wonderful Garden Birds. Apparently, Debby, being American, watched the shows and this demo, and only counted me say tits once! Right….

Hello there. So glad you popped in. I have been pottering in the garden this morning, just tidying up. It’s very pleasant, isn’t it, to potter. It’s not something I have done much of,  but I’m thinking I may just make some more time for pottering. Anyway, here’s that step-by-step artwork I promised you yesterday. I used the Deerscape stamp. Let me show you the stamp set: We call it the Meadowdance Stamps Set, after the little children These are…

Hi there! Or should I say “Howdi partners”? Here we are at the end of the week, with Friday’s blog – a private peek Last night we got to bed very late, US TV shows State to State! Because of the time shift we aired 8-10, with my lovely friends Ginger and Steph again. Here’s one of the projects I did on the show; I’ll do a Step-by-step tomorrow… It went very well and according to plan, but all action…

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by. Stuck in traffic on the M25, trying to get to the studios for American TV shows this evening. Oh the power of The Cloud!  Mmm.mambulance just flew past.

I am hoping to do this project on the TV tonight,  so it will serve me well to…

Hello there! Thanks for popping in today. I’m glad you did,  because I have something new I would like to share with you. A new Wednesday Blog idea. Humpback Wednesday and all that.  Mid week crisis be gone!!! It’s not a stamp, or a stencil, in fact it’s not anything one can buy today. I sometimes feel that I am pounding you with products daily,  and that really is NOT my intention.  It’s just the nature of the Craft Blog….

Hi there. Thanks for dropping in. I’m afraid I ran out of hours and wasn’t able to make a new YouTube this week. My hair’s a mess, been staring at a screen for way tooooo long, and have got a stonking headache. So whatever you do,  DON’T TUT!!!  I don’t think I would react well…. American TV on Thursday, and I really must get my head round what I’m doing then! So I asked Jim to just upload our little…

Hello there! Thanks for popping in. Monday morning, and it’s back to reality! Good to be back in the saddle though. In fact I have got so much more energy than a week ago! The old grey/gray? cells are pinging ideas all over the place! So please allow me to blog a simple Monday Trees Blog,  which I did on German TV last week, so that i can get back to designing the Christmas Wee Folk and the Christmas Word…

Hi there. Thanks for dropping in this Sunday. Have been really looking forward to getting back up here  in my little art den, and doing something. Anything! Isn’t it amazing how being creative, getting with your hands  becomes such a part of you? I have missed my daily art fix! I invested in a very VERY expensive pair of scissors whilst in Germany too, so I want to try them out… I had a really brilliant cheap little pair for about…
