Hi there! Thanks for joining me here today! Isn’t Linda doing a cracking job of those beautiful bows in the Pergamano hours on Hochanda today?! There are 3 hours of Parchment with Linda: 8am, 12 noon and 3pm. Then she will hand the arty baton to Paul and myself for the Mixed Media ODS of the day. Same company – TOTALLY DIFFERENT STYLES. If you are into rugby and you hear the words Harlequin Bundle, you’ll immediately think of the…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. We’re all set for tomorrow now. It’s another busy TV day for Team Clarity! Lovely Linda Williams is kicking off the day with Pergamano at 8am, showcasing some fabulous new Groovi plates, which she designed herself. So she will be able to give us the grand tour of these plates, and show us how the bows and frills work …. Here are some lovely samples from our talented team: Years ago, when I was…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Late night prepping for Thursday again!But really excited to show you the new Mixed Media Dies. Having played with them and the new stamps for 2 days, Paul and I both agree that they are really excellent. Very different for us, but so cool to use! I think you will like them too – especially if you’re into your mixed media. These are certainly building that bridge to art again. Anyway, more to be…
Hi there! Thanks for joining me. Big Day today. Well, it certainly is for our daughter Grace! She’s joining Team Clarity again! Woohoo!! Many of you will remember her as a teenager, when she used to help at the shows, and answer the office phone. Delightful energy, hard worker, great fun. Working at Clarity paid for her University years! She graduated with no debts, no loans – not even so much as an overdraft. Thing is, she learned the ropes…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Thanks for watching the TV shows on HOCHANDA today if you did – well, somebody must have, becasue the sales smashed targets all over!! And lovely Linda is on again now as I write, having put a massive dent in substantial stock in the first hours at 6pm. Do tune in to watch on catch up – her designs are superb. So picture the scene. Linda says to me as we are clearing away…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. What a glorious day! I won’t keep you long; just want to showcase the new stamps collections which are being launched on HOCHANDA by myself tomorrow 2-4pm. I love ‘em! Only one hitch: if the weather is this lovely tomorrow, then you good people will be out and about, or in the garden sunning yourselves. Which I completely understand, and would actually encourage you to do! But it does mean that sales will be…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. It’s late and that’ll do, donkey! Been prepping alllll day, but am happy with what I have prepared for the 2-4 Sunday TV show. Five demos in total. I hope to get to them all of course, but if we run out of time or stock – whichever comes first – I shall be sure to blog the artwork on this ere blog. Can I show you one of them? Would that spoil the…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Been a busy day today. Lots to do and loads of boxes got ticked. Not least the Leonie shows tomorrow. If you like Leonie’s style, you’ll LOVE these stamps and stencils! What a cracking concept. The stamps are nested scribbles – 3 in 1. And there’s a tanged stencil to go with each stampset. You can just snip the straight line bits away, to separate them out. Really excellent. We have been going like…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Wet n dreary this afternoon in Kent. But hey! If you don’t like the English weather, just wait a minute! Two weeks from now we will all have had enough of the heat wave which is imminent, and be praying for rain! It’s a funny old life, innit. Years ago, and for many years, we lived in a really old farm (built 1412) in the middle – and I mean the MIDDLE – of…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Just got home from our little expedition to New York. What a fruitful trip that was! Apart from being thoroughly enjoyable, spending time with Dave, Grace and her Mark, we really got our ducks in a row regarding the US Office, and how it’s all going to work. Exciting times ahead! But now it’s back to Clarity UK! And what a wonderful treat it was to kick back and watch my dear friend Sam…
