Hi there, Thanks for popping in. The Pergamano festivities are going very well indeed! So glad you’re joining in. I have been working on a silent movie this morning. It’s an epic. I reckon it’s longer than War & Peace! Took over 3 hours to record, but I did it in one sitting, without even a potty break! Actually, I just flicked the overhead camera on while I was prepping for tomorrow’s Hochanda TV Premiere at 6pm! Remember those fabulous…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Day 1 of the Pergamano Party here. In case you’re wondering what it’s all about, Grace has written a perfect intro blog over on our Clarity Matters Blog, explaining what we’re up to and why. It’s amazing how quickly the Groovi side of Clarity has grown, isn’t it. And since we bought Pergamano two or three years ago, even diehard traditional parchers have joined us and embraced our Groovi system. Our Groovi plates just…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. And thank you so much for tuning in to HOCHANDA today, and flying the Clarity flag ! Sooo busy! I guess the Half -Price offer was too good to pass up? I know I needed a new set of the first five, because I’ve been using the same set since their inception, and they were looking a little bit “well loved”. Still worked fine, but were looking their age! Aren’t we all!! ANyway, once…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just a quickie, as we are dashing out the door to celebrate Mum’s birthday. SInce her second hip op a month ago, she has made a remarkable recovery. Amazing really. Talk about good timing, eh?! Wednesday’s blog from me to you, right? Here’s Presh, a little Pergamano poppet project I blogged recently. Maybe you can look back a find the blog if you fancy? I reckon it was at the end of July… The…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. This morning, upon opening the curtains at 6am I spotted Venus shining brightly just below a fabulous crescent moon. Quite a spectacle. And then we saw mars too! Within minutes all were hidden behind clouds, but just for a short while Dave and I stood gazing out into the universe… So I thought for today’s blogs I would reach back into the past, and dig out one of my all time favourite pieces of…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Monday’s blog is trees and flowers, right? So how about shedding a little light on a fabulous stencil of ours, called The Frameless Floral Forest … In fact, there’s another fab stencil design called the Frameless Floral Flourish (Say that when you’ve had a few sherberts!!) Here they are in a set, complete with their mini stencils too. CLICK HERE to investigate Out with the 8”x10” Gel Press and matching megamount . Set the…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Been poodling around the house today, cooking, cleaning, ironing and just generally catching up with domestic chores. This kind of productive yet not particularly mentally taxing activity leaves the mind free to wander and ponder, don’t you find? And that is precisely what mine did. Without even leaving the kitchen, I managed in a very short space of time to get all riled and caught up in the corruption and devious, manipulative behaviour of…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Saturday’s blog a new technique, right? Well new… mmm. new to who? To me to you? It’ll be new to somebody! Let’s take that fabulous die of ours, that Fresh Cut Town Aperture Die which our ever clever friend Mel Turner designed. Let’s take that little beautifully intricate die, and turn it into not one but two cool for cats cards…. Town Aperture Die Here goes. The process, from start to finish. Ready? Die…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Thursday’s blog is always blue, right? Here’s a little poppet who goes by the name of Polly stamped on one of our new Antarctica Designer Petites – a decidedly and predominantly blue collection… Pick a paper, any paper! Stamped with black archival. Coloured in with Pergaliner A (for aquarelle) pencils, and blended nicely with a Wink of Stella, just to add a little whimsy bling. Add a little sentiment from the Feel Good Factor…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Wednesday’s blog is from me to you. Since Mandalas are very topical in the SHAC-Shack right now, I thought I would put a very different spin on one of Tina’s wonderful Mandala Stamps, turn it into really arty wall art….from me to you xxx Doesn’t that look beautiful?! I love it. Here I used the Mandala stamp entitled Devotion… There are four in the series. And by the way, they are HALF PRICE on…
