New Tree stamps and Landscape masks

New Tree stamps and Landscape masks

Hi there After the SHAC this morning, where we taped together two pencils and went 3-D on a treble clef (don’t ask!), I spent the day alone in the workshop store room at Clarity, where we keep all the craft stash we use at retreats and courses. You know, ink pads, brayers, blending mats, pens etc etc Why? Because Linda and I are each hosting a one-day class the Sunday after the Open Days, and while Paul gets Linda’s materials…

Hi there If you joined me for the Mixed media Craftalong yesterday evening, THANK YOU! I hope it was interesting? Like I said, it’s all about the sequence and knowing your material – how much you need, and how fast it dries. Well, that aside, if you were there, you will already have heard the good news! Yep. How about a really cool afternoon online – a whole afternoon – together, making something really lovely – either for your wall,…

By George! I think this could work!!

Hi there. I’ve been having more playtime this morning, with those new landscape masks and stamps. So excited about them! The scenery masks are a game changer. I actually wish Sunday would come round faster, so I can show you!! But then again, there’s so much to do at work, I really ought not to wish the week away! Tomorrow, we are back on the SHAC-bus at 10am. Last session on the L for LOVE. The bus driver went ahead…

Time to make a scene.

Time to make a scene.

Hi there It’s time to make a scene. Oh yes! I would love to make a scene! I was bobbing about in a sea of emotions this morning, catching an angry wave, then being awash with sadness, only to surface and be hit by the next surge of frustration. Until I decided THIS WILL NOT DO !!!! The only way to get to shore and some semblance of serenity was to get with my hands and MAKE SOMETHING. So I…

Hi there I always read all your responses when you post below these blogs. Even if i don’t always respond to them.

I had talked about two creeps that were doing press-ups in the car park at the moment, waiting for me. They’re called Agg and…

Agg & Wurry – DO ONE!!!

Hi there, When all around you are losing their rag, when things are just rubbish, and the rain is running down the windows, there are two instant tonics: https://www.facebook.com/1004431287/videos/10209485498506742 There was a big sign right next to this pink camel, that said, “strictly no climbing on the sculptures.” Whatever…we certainly got off fast when the cops turned the corner though! 😂😂😂 We couldn’t NOT climb up on it!! Well, Paul made it; I couldn’t get my leg over!! Can you…

Hi there Picked up a kebab on the way home from Clarity Towers, from the local Kebambulance, (I kid you not!). Woofed it down as soon as we’d fed Erik and Ragnar the cats, (No. Not Doner!) I ate more of the salad than Dave, just cos it’s healthier (and he won’t eat anything that’s been even NEAR cucumber! 😂) It was real soul food. Hot and spicy. And a £9 portion was more than enough for both of us!…
