Hi there According to the specialists, the Moon Phase for today and tonight: Jan 23, 2025 is a Waning Crescent phase. Yep. Sounds about right to me. Sky is quite clear here in the southeast, so it will probably get colder. Then will come the winds and the rain. Perfect weather for crafting! Deborah Wheeler is back at Clarity Towers tomorrow, 10am and 2pm. She’s shining a light on some fab stamps that we came up with in the SHAC…
Hi there Just a quick blog this evening, to shine a light on these rather fabulous Richelieu lace plates, brand new, and designed by Linda Williams herself. What’s Richelieu lace? I hear you ask. Well, I didn’t know what it was called, but I have always been drawn to this kind of lace.. You will know the sort. Where areas are cut away, and often almost tanged together by these woven threads. Turns out these connectors are called bars or…
Hi there. Grace called me just now. “Have you read your emails Mum?”“No, not this afternoon. I’ve been doing artwork. What’s up?”“Do it now.” And guess what it said… WINNER! You’re officially a winner in the Craft Industry Awards Drumroll….. 1 . Craft Personality of the Year 2. Best Workshops 3. Runner up – Best Stamping Brand. Woohoo!! So excited! Called Dave straightaway, then told the team. Can’t wait for Mum to wake up from her afternoon nap, so I…
Hi there I was thinking about the demo I did this afternoon on our Clarity TV show at 2pm. If you didn’t catch it, you can always watch it later on our catch up section on our website. Here’s the link to the right page. Anyway, the Archival ink wasn’t dry, so when I added the sky, the trees started bleeding, so to speak! Look here… But then, after we’d finished and were packing everything away, it occurred to me….
Hi there It’s been a working Sunday here for me, although making artwork for the February Clarity Stencil Club is hardly a slog, is it?? I had a great time, and I’m going to break with tradition, and actually SHOW you a little bit of what I made today. It’s just a little peep, and Jane has done something super lovely too. But you get the flavour of what it’s about… Usually, we keep quiet about which stamps, stencils or…
Hi there – Thanks you so much for watching our Clarity TV shows today at 10am and 2pm! If you missed them, they are available for you to watch in the Catch-up section on our website HERE and Youtube Channel HERE We’re getting into the swing of the New Order of things at Clarity. And I have to say, there is a cheerful atmosphere at work. I am certainly enjoying my work life much better now; I think we all…
Hi there Snowed on the way home today. Didn’t settle, but it was nice – albeit just for a moment in time. I want to talk about that super show we had on Sunday, when we launched those new Stamp Pens and Jazz’s new KISS Seasonal Wreath Stamps. I don’t know if you watched until the end of the two hours, but towards the end, I reviewed that Landscape Mask technique which was launched last November. Remember the one? With…
Hi there Busy Monday at Clarity! After a very successful Sunday show yesterday, and a brilliant response to our new Clarity Stamp pens, it was heads down and get them orders filled today! Thing is, once we get home and eat, Dave and I are pretty much done in. That’s it for today. I really ought to take down the Christmas decorations this evening – bad luck n all that jazz – maybe later on, after I’ve let me tea…
Hi there It’s no good. I can’t wait any longer. It’s time to show you what’s coming up on our Clarity TV tomorrow. When? Where? Who? What?? Well, here’s WHO, WHEN and WHERE BUT WHAT? That is the question. Ready? Dave has developed a set of what we are calling STAMP PENS. They are stamp-mounts for small stamps. And boy oh boy! Are they brilliant! The thing is that you can hold them like a pen of course, but you…
Hi there Busy day at Clarity Towers today. Had a good meeting with the team, and ticked a load of boxes. Since we are launching brand new, really REALLY useful stamps designed by Jazz, and a new game-changer product this Sunday (invented and made almost entirely by Dave), there is a lot to consider! …Like I said, there is a whole can of P’s for a 2-hour TV show! But I am really looking forward to showing you what we’ve…
