Hi there Thanks for popping in. And thanks for watching me hop about on Create & Craft yesterday. I do love building scenes and cool quotes. Well, here’s a demo I have rustled up to music, which showcases both! Bingo! I also used one of those super new plaid stencils in the background on a Gel Press… Here’s a list of the ingredients, with links to our website…. It’s a seriously serious sale! Anything from 40 to 70% off. But…
Hi. Thanks for popping in. If you watched Create & Craft last Sunday, you’ll have seen me use not one, but TWO large Gelpress plates! This was to move through a monoprinting printing process quickly. If you use two plates, you can bounce between colours, transferring colours back and forth as you pull prints, getting loads of blends and lovely ghost prints. If you’re only working with one plate, you have to keep cleaning it, and the colours muddy, and…
Hi there Thanks for popping in today. After a hectic but fruitful day on telly yesterday, I decided to kick back today, take it easy. I just don’t ping back like I used to! And I am learning that it’s ok to do nothing. So I made breakfast and did a couple of loads of laundry. Yep. That’s me doing nothing! Just not possible to sit still! The sun was shining for the first time in a while, so Dave…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Yesterday I made a plan in my head to do pottery today. All day. This morning I spent an hour deciding what I actually want to make. Tiles, bowls, another element of Dad’s totem pole, a wall hanging for the kitchen – so many ideas! Got dressed up warm, all set to weather the elements outside and in the not so toasty garage. Cleaned both bathrooms while I was whizzing around upstairs, aired the…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. How’s the New Year shaping up in your neck of the woods? It’s been raining and blowing a hoolie here for days. Wain, wain, wain. I’ve been in my artroom, (or should I say artwomb?) prepping for Sunday’s TV show, and quite enjoying my own company. I got caught up in a Gelpress session, which was thoroughly enjoyable. You know how it goes. You’re supposed to be making the bed, you go to hang…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. So glad you like the Postcard Quotes! Me too!! In case you missed this demo today.. How about a simple step by step, to remind you of the mono printing sequence using the Gelpress together with our new Postcards and a great stencil… Ready? Want to go on? You can enjoy it as is, frame it even. Or how about chopping it up… Here’s a little picture step by step on chopping and mounting……
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Easter Monday and all is well. Was watching Iolo Williams trekking through the Welsh marches earlier, and suddenly had a hankering to do some stencil art. So here is a splash of treescape colour, stepped up. I used our lovely treescape Stencil, designed by Mel. An hour or so of inky distraction was just what the doctor ordered… Look out for it behind me the next time we hang out together in the SHAC!…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Dave and I were watching a load of crows in the sky, and I remembered ages ago in the SHAC how we‘d had a cool session, learning all the collective nouns and names for the various groups of birds. Could I remember the Crows? A Parliament of crows I thought, but then I was pretty sure the Owls were also a parliament. …so what do you do? You let your fingers do the walking,…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. First day back in the office. It was good to see the team, catch up with them, have a few meetings, share some ideas, make a few new plans. They’re a kind bunch at Clarity. Just straight forward good people. Each and every one of them has their own personal struggles, family issues, ups and downs, illness – just like everybody else. So we travel gently and we support each other. We’re all in…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Had a craving for some Gelli this evening. There was nothing for it but to give in and get painty. Thing is once I start on the Gelli, I just can’t stop! Hours of play, with just one stencil, the Ocean Swirl 6×6 inch and a 6×6 inch Gel Press Plate. Oh. And plenty of Clarity 7×7 inch stencil card. Made to measure. CLICK HERE FOR ALL THE DIFFERENT SIZES WE HAVE MADE OF…
