Hi there!Mindful Wednesday it is then! Hope you are feeling well? I picked up some virus in London last week and cannot shake it off. I hate being ill – when you’re up to your arse in crocodiles, as we are at Clarity at the moment, and you haven’t even got the energy to bat them off. But it is what it is. Nothing terminal, just a flu thing. I know enough to know that I have to stop, slow…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in! Been waiting for today to roll round for a while now…. A D E L E T O N I G H T ! ! ! ! ! ! If it’s ok with you, we’ll look at the Groovi Gridwork and the fab patterns you came up with tomorrow. I want to alternate between Stamps and Groovi on the blog, so today let’s check out a very versatile set of stamps… The Butterfly and…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in! I thought it was time to have a BLOG SALE! I think the Clarity Crew have just about recovered from Gray Friday…. Every day for the next two weeks, I shall do a little artwork as always, and offer you the things I am using at a special Bloggy price as we go along. Some stamps, some stencil and some Groovi – in other words, something for everyone! Monday’s Blog is Flowers and Trees, …

Steve Me Dad Mum Dave Me Dad Mum Here we see Mum posing and Steve playing silly buggers in the alley! Wonky building! Topes for Lunch Wow! The week with wheels!!!

Hello there! Thanks for popping in. Saturday’s blog a new technique, eh? To who? To you ? To me? Sometimes I think we are galloping forward at such a speed, looking for new things, that we forget some of the special tricks we discovered a while back. This one for example: Ranger Distress Inks used to paint a stamp. Making our own ink palette to fit the stamp. Let’s take a closer look… Are you familiar with our Garden Heart…
Hi there! Good of you to drop in. Friday’s blog a private peek, right? Well, let me tell you about my day yesterday. It was absolutely brilliant. I caught the train to Charing Cross in the morning, and – it being a lovely sunny day – I decided to walk to my destination, rather than scurry around on the underground. Across Trafalgar Square and towards Picadilly Circus. It was a glorious morning, and there was a real upbeat vibe in…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Big treat today! A trip to London with a very special person… (more will be revealed tomorrow…) But before I go to catch a train, let us stay a while and get arty. Thursday’s blog is always blue. Remember that Daisy canvas I did the other day? Remember the copy paper I was rolling the brayer off onto in between colours? Wonderful. I love it when I see art in a scrap, don’t you?…
Hi there! Good of you to pop in. Welcome to Mindful Wednesday. This time last week I was at the dentist having a temporary front crown replaced, because the one which had been fitted previously was entirely the wrong colour. Now call me vain if you like, but I’ve got this one for at least a year while they sort the rest of his wobbly mates out. Want the news? THREE TIMES till we got it right. THREE TIMES. Too dark, too…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Several people have asked me to go through some examples of the various patterns you can make with a Groovi Grid. – or ANY grid for that matter! If you haven’t ramped up your parching skills and invested in our fabulous Groovi Grids, you oughta think about it. I still cannot get over how many patterns you can make out of a couple of acrylic plates with a load of holes drilled in them!…
