Hi there. Good of you to pop in. Just had the wind knocked right out of my sails. Grace told me that one of our lovely Clarity friends and customers, Linda Williams Woodland, died this week from this awful virus. I can’t believe it. She was always commenting here on the blog, always fun to be around. Big Groovi fan. Very creative, very upbeat, very kind, great energy – a real light. Gone. Just like that. Dearie me. So so…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Quite a day today! Have you ever left the house, and then just as the door closes, you realise you’ve left your keys on the kitchen table? With your phone? Yep, that was my first party piece today. Was all set to go out to my little SHAC-shack above the garage, to fire up the cameras and get going on our daily doodle session at 10am – and gasp. Locked out of the house….
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Beautiful sunny day here in East Sussex again. Thoroughly enjoyed the daily doodle this morning. Hope those of you who joined in did too! I am loving the finished artworks you are posting on our Facebook group, Clarity Worldwide! Who knew we were all such great illustrators?!? Well, you never know until you try, do you. We are on HOCHANDA TV today too, showcasing some of my very favourite designs: the Birds in the…
Thanks for popping in. Such a busy day !! So much for hanging out in the garden and honing my Lino Cutting skills! Not this week anyway! Our SHAC SHACK daily doodling with the hot air balloon is coming along nicely, and tomorrow we’ll be adding a nice back drop. We got a great basket weave going today, didn’t we?! I nearly lost the plot there for a moment – but hey! It’s all just a bit of doodle fun…
Hi there Thanks for popping in! Blogging on my phone is quite a challenge ! But if I can navigate 3 cameras when streaming Facebook Live every day, whilst doodling intricate hot air balloons – then blogging from a piddly little I-phone must be a cinch! It never ceases to amaze me how much more there is to learn! In all my 61 years, I haven’t even started to scratch the surface! This morning We tackled a new doodle: a…
Hi there. Happy Easter Sunday. If only it were a grey day! If only it were dreary and rainy! Then this Corona Chaos which is turning the world on its head and devastating hundreds of thousands of lives might not seem quite so surreal. But on a glorious sunny day like today, it just doesn’t seem possible, does it? I ventured out beyond the garden gate for the first time in over a week. Worked on TV recordings for a…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. How are you? Safe and well I hope? I woke up very anxious this morning. As soon as my eyes opened, the head started spinning. It darted around from place to place – and settled on New York New York, and – of course – our darling Grace. Didn’t have the 10am Doodle session with my friends to steer me clear of the cave today, and despite every attempt to change the direction of…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. And thanks for doodling along in the SHAC-SHACK this morning. I know we want to doodle perfect doodles, but hey! I’m just happy I CAN STAY HOME SAFE, AND DOODLE AT ALL !!! Don’t get caught up in comparing your doodle-artwork with anybody else’s, and start beating yourself up because “her steps are better than my steps”. Repeat after me: NOT IMPORTANT. IT’S A DOODLE!!! It’s not a competition. I can only speak for…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. I hope you are ok, safe and coping okay with the way things are right now. And they are the way they are, so we may as well not fight it, and figure out a safe and sane way through this nightmare. Those of us who are doodling together every morning at 10am on Facebook Live have at least figured out a daily creative diversion, which gives us a little direction at the start…
Hi there. Greeting from the SHAC-Shack! In case you’re wondering, SHAC stands for: Safe – Happy – and – Creative Stay – Home – and – Craft I settled down to finish a little piece of artwork I started last week, when we launched Tina’s beautiful Floral Doodle flowers on HOCHANDA TV, and thought I would step it up and blog it for you. My Mum always calls me her little Daffodil, because I was born in March. How lovely…
