Hi there If you watched the SHAC yesterday morning, you will have seen this card I made yonks ago, using the silver birch stamp set, which I also drew yonks ago! Actually, back then, the stamps were not anywhere near as good as they are now! Back then, in order to clear emboss or glaze the tree trunks, you had to use an embossing pen for each and every tree! With this new set, the second stamp, the infill stamp,…

Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Sincere apologies for not blogging for a while – there’s a lot going on here, and I just seem to run out of hours! But I promise to try harder in the New Year! The other thing is, I don’t believe in spreading misery, and unless I can be positive, I’d best keep quiet. 2023 has been a challenge, there’ve been a few dark days, and on those days I tend to retreat to…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. I stepped away from the Clarity plate today, put on my Claypron – and had a full day on the pottery wheel. It was absolutely just what the doctor ordered. I have been neglecting my pottery this year, and it’s time to get back in the saddle. I love it so much. It’ll take me a while again, to get back in the throwing game – You don’t forget the drill, the process, but…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Before I make a dash for the artroom above the garage in this here rain deluge, let me chat to you – in hopes that it will calm down! One cat’s in, one cat’s out. Ragnar actually likes the rain – weird little Viking that he is! Or maybe he likes the rubdown with a warm towel he gets when he eventually turns up at the kitchen door like a drowned rat – or…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Beautiful sunny day here in the southeast today. Almost T-shirt and shorts weather! Not that you’d ever catch me in shorts!! I look down at the legs that walk me around nowadays, and wonder who’s got mine!! That wicked witch certainly did a number on me when she swopped my legs for this pair! Had a laugh with Grace this evening. Conversation went like this… Grace “How’s Dave?“ Me “He’s ok. Went to the…
