Best Die Ever!!!

Best Die Ever!!!

Hi there! Thanks for popping in. And thanks for supporting and watching Paul and myself on Hochanda TV this weekend. Busy days…..I hope you enjoyed the demos? We pack a lot in when you think about it. We are up in Northumberland, Morpeth, all set to attend lovely Becca and Simon’s wedding tomorrow. We headed up north after telly this morning and a couple of business meetings. Linda and Rob Williams are up here too, to join in the celebrations…

Happy Sunday! We’re off to the HOCHANDA TV Studios bright and early today, just in case the roads are a bit dodgy. But before we hit the road, let me post our Clarity plan to you! First off, as I described yesterday, there’s an arty 2 hour session 2-4pm with myself and an old fave (no! Dave isn’t coming on telly with me!) it’s the lovely Leafy Swirl in all its guises: Stamp, stencil, Groovi AND now the Die. Then…

Leafy Swirl – All time Fave

Leafy Swirl – All time Fave

Hi there! How’s your Saturday shaping up? I have been busy belting around, putting the finishing touches to tomorrow’s HOCHANDA TV Shows. Sometimes I think, blimey. All this work, all this prep. And it’s over in a nano. Thing is, I suppose I could prep less, wing it more. But the prep is what gives me the nerve to go on telly in the first place! Imagine going on LIVE TV and not having a plan!!! Sod that!!!! So, with…

Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Snow here in Kent – very cold, very beautiful too. February’s here too. Where did January go? ? I spotted a couple Christmas decorations in the lounge last night. Ah well. They kind of blend in, so I shall just leave them there! See if anybody else notices…. We always do have a Half-Price Clarity Club Members Sale at this time of year, and this year we want to do more. A few extra…

Tina’s Floral Petites – Didn’t she do well?!?!

Tina’s Floral Petites – Didn’t she do well?!?!

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Been beavering away here in our little artroom above the garage with Paul. Very constructive say – well pleased with the demos for Sunday – hope you will be too! And whilst we were working away, we had Tina on in the background, being her usual modestly amazing self. She blows me away. Not only does she design all the plates, and pretty much give us camera ready artwork – she then trundles up…

Never stop learning…

Hi there. Thanks for popping in! Just got back from pottery. Had a great afternoon, although my new batch of tiles aren’t coming along as well as the first lot! First time I made tiles, I just went for it – didn’t know what I was doing. This time I was trying to remember what I did (note to self: must take notes), and I think I overthunk it. Still. Who’s to say. They may be wonderful. And if they’re…

Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Horrible weather down in Kent today! But here at Clarity we’ve been beavering away, making Leonie’s hundreds – nay – thousands of stencils, gearing up for this weekend’s TV – and generally being über-productive! We are so busy. Whatever happened to a slow start in January? And on that note, what happened to January??? Where did THAT month go?!?!? One minute, we’re all hugging each other and pretending we know the words to Auld…

It’s an Ellava Stencil of the Month! Last Orders please!

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Monday blogs are ideal for showcasing our 4 core products of the month nowadays, and this Monday it’s Stencil of the Month. Here’s a delightful art sample made by another Barbara – Barbara Lancaster! And what a delightful piece of artwork this is! I LOVE the shrunkled baby elephant. That’s impressive. I remember visiting the Elephant Orphanage in Sri Lanka many moons ago; the little baby elephants were too cute. I also remember seeing…

Will it work? Only one way to find out…..

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. No kisses today! Best stay away! I is chock full – and it’s gone straight to the chest – via the ears nose and throat! Lovely. Bloody lovely. Feels like I’ve been hit by a truck. But I haven’t; it’s nothing that a load of vitamin C and zinc won’t sort out. Been prepping for next Sunday’s TV all day. I have a feeling that Old Man Time may get tight this week, so…

The Bridge between Art and Craft

The Bridge between Art and Craft

Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Trying to tidy this ‘ere workspace in readiness for what’s coming up – TV shows, new products, new directions. It’s like painting the Golden Gate Bridge; by the time you’ve finished it, you can start again! Hey ho! I found a really cool piece of stencil, which I think I may have a little play with today. I say piece, because I definitely cut it out of a larger whole a while ago! After…
