Hi there Thanks for popping in. Sometimes the pressure builds. It builds over many days, weeks even. The noise gradually gets louder and louder, until you can’t hear yourself think. You think you’ve got it under control, you think you’re doing okay, even with rush hour traffic pouring through your head. You ignore the signs, you keep pushing. One day at a time you just plough on. But then you hit a wall. Woke up this morning and knew I…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Just a quickie before we go live on HOCHANDA at 2pm. It’s a busy busy TV day for Clarity today. And I must add, a very busy STAMP day! Although this was actually more coincidence than planning, it does let dear Brother Steve catch up with the Groovi backlog production! Please bear with us if you are waiting for an order from the Half Price Pergamano sale. We are going like the clappers. Lucky…
Hi there! Thanks for poppeting in. Oh boy! You liked Tina’s Mandalas then! Good grief! Paul is back on at 12 and 4 today. We’ve added more stock, both for the Groovi plates AND the stamps! Hope it lasts. In the meantime, continuing on with our Pergamano celebrations, I was chatting away to lovely Tina yesterday evening, in between sellout shows! She was über chuffed that her designs are so popular. It’s a huge endorsement, to have a big and…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. The Pergamano Festivities wouldn’t be complete without a huge round of applause – nay, a standing ovation – for Linda Williams, that wonderful Welsh lady who just blows us away with her creativity and talent every single time. She has taught me so much! She shares her knowledge so willingly, so freely. I wonder how many thousands of parchers she has held by the hand and guided them through the art. She and I…
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. Sunday’s blog a Step by step project, right? Well, today marks the beginning of a special week at Clarity, and so I asked a very special lady to help me with a very special project for you! Josie has rustled up a BEAUTIFUL project for you, using none other than the first of the Groovi Twas The Night Collection which were half price on TV yesterday. Make a cuppa, get comfy and enjoy this…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Thursday’s blog is always blue, so here’s a little canvas I made, using our Happy Couple die. If you’d like to own this little canvas, then all you have to do is write a message below, giving us two little captions. He says, ” “ She says, ” ” Or the other way round!! What are these little birds saying to each other? That’s it. Come on! Join in !! You’ve gottabeinittawinnit!! Let’s have…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Before I go out for a long walk through the woods, to clear the old head, let me just step up that reflection trick I did yesterday on telly, using our new Backdrop Rectangle Stamp. and the wonderful Trees and their Mantles. Ready? Reflection images first. Dab Espresso Distress Oxide ink onto the stamp and plant along the halfway line you drew on the acetate at the back. Here’s the card I made on…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Oh boy! What a busy 2-hour TV show on HOCHANDA that was! If you missed it, you can catch up on HOCHANDA.com . They store it for about 7 days, if I’m not mistaken. We do like the old Clarity Classics, don’t we! For me, using the Speedball Brayer is like putting on a really old, comfortable pair of slippers. And with these new Backdrop stamps of ours, it spreads the ink so well….
