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. Before you wonder why I’m shouting about the SHAC today, when we‘re having a little break until October, well it’s Monday, and I have been thinking about things. This daily blog is a moving feast, right? So I’ve decided to modify our little verse which we wrap the weekly blogs around. Monday’s Blog – We’re in the SHAC!Tuesday’s blog – The clock goes back. So when we do get back together in the SHAC…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just before I settle down to watch our Deb Wheeler on Create & Craft at 1pm and 4pm, I thought I’d just pop in here myself, and say hi. That’s about as much as I can muster today! The week of Clarity Retreats was a success again. Our guests seemed to enjoy the projects, the banter and the company a lot this year. And whilst we shelved a Groovi afternoon in favour of the…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Day 3 done and dusted. Another lovely group of creative ladies, getting into their art and craft. It was great to see old friends and familiar faces. And my oh my – just as with the first group when we tackled the paper collage landscape, the results spoke for themselves. The proof is in the pudding, as they say. Yes. All in all, a good day. It was a very structured process, and had…
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. Just got in from Day 1 of our Clarity retreat. I think the projects we covered were well received. Most people seemed pretty happy with their day’s work. I’m always rather apprehensive before a workshop, especially when there’s a brand new technique on the menu. But to be honest, whilst it’s true to say you can’t please all the people all the time, the results speak for themselves . And when I took a…
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…
