Hi there! There’s something new on the horizon at Clarity. Many of you have already enrolled for my very first paid LIVE online Classroom workshop, which is coming up next week, on Saturday 12th October. What are we making? A beautiful, hand cut, hand crafted Lighthouse Paper Collage, mounted on a 12 in x 12 in Canvas board If you have already signed up, then you will have already received the lovely materials kit, including the canvas board, papers and…
Hi there. Tuesday’s blog – and the hours roll back, right? So I thought I’d roll back the hours to 10 years ago. Do you know what YOU were doing 10 years ago today? One of the biggest advantages of having a phone full to the gunnels with photos, is that I can pretty much track to the hour what my activities were a decade ago! My photos tell me even more accurately and irrefutably what I was up to…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. I got caught up making little cards today, out of the new 4×4 inch card blanks and envelopes that are pouring out of the Pinky Gray printroom at the moment, in readiness for our 31st Birthday weekend on Create & Craft! I used a print I had made using the new leafy layering stencils, which wasn’t very exciting as a whole. In fact, I didn’t even bother taking a photo of it. Yep. That…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Wednesday’s blog something new, right? Well, I’ve got not ONE but TWO new things I want to share with you: Next up, let’s take a look at those new stencils I’m talking about. Actually, let’s look at the monoprint I made using them first… Right. Two sets, each with 3 stencils. Well actually, there’s loads in each pack. You get the inny AND the outy. Perfect for use with ink and brushes, but also…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Trip down Memory Lane it is then! I scrolled back through my photos to a year ago today. And lookie lookie! Teabags! Remember this? I do love our Linocut stamps too! They are right up my street… I was filling one of our lovely little water colour Petite Journals with Teabag images. It really was a pleasure to do! Pity I haven’t had time to finish it. YET. There’s that lovely little word again….
Hi there Thanks for popping in. It’s nice to be indoors today. It is persisting down outside! Raining the proverbial cats and dogs! And Ragnar is out there in it somewhere! We reckon he’s got a hide out and a little minx on the side. We reckon Ragnar Lodbrok is leading a “double-life” … Erik the Red on the other hand, is curled up asleep in front of the Aga, like any other sensible, self-respecting Viking! Yesterday was busy. TV…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Wednesday’s blog is something new, right? Well, to be fair, we’re always working on new designs! At any given moment, there will be at least a dozen stampsets, a bunch of stencils, a collection of Groovi plates and a few dies in the pipeline. And that doesn’t even include all the new products that are already complete, neatly stacked and waiting for launch day! Presenting on TV requires that we bring new things to…
Hi there Thanks for popping in! Day 2 of the Retreats – and a good time was had by all. The artwork our guests created was so good!! The mask work this afternoon was pretty impressive! I had to take photos of a few – they were so excellent! It was really heart-warming to watch the smiles on faces, when they stood back and looked at what they had achieved. I love that. And when folks came up at the…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Early Saturday morning here. The roads are quiet, the birds are even quiet for once. Just that irritating neighbour of ours, who must be digging a new channel tunnel from 50 miles inland. Just dig, dig digging, chip, chip, chipping away…ah well…live and let live. If he’s digging for France, I’m embarking on a new adventure too! Slightly less arduous, and probably a lot more constructive! In case you haven’t heard, we are working…
