Hi there! Mindful Wednesday today. The day when we look not so much at what we’re crafting, but WHY we’re crafting. Or not crafting, as the case may be. If I had a pound for every time somebody said to me, “I’ve got a brayer, but it’s still in the box” “I’ve got a Gelli Plate, but it’s still in the box” I could buy shares in those companies! Last Wednesday, we talked about CHALLENGE. About stretching ourselves by setting…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Things are definitely hotting up here at Clarity! What with the new Groovi Club ready to launch this week, the phones ringing off the hook, and the Frankfurt Trade Show this coming weekend, I have to say, I am all at sixes and sevens today. I think Paul’s beginning to wonder whether giving up his day job was such a good idea… And I haven’t even had a cup of tea yet !! This…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. It’s actually Sunday evening, but we have a very very very very busy week ahead, so I thought I’d clear my head with a little art first…. Dave and I were having dinner earlier. Out of nowhere, Dave asked, “Could you stamp a reflection on Parchment by stamping on the back, so that it’s more faded?” “Yep” It’s time for stamps to meet Groovi, isn’t it? Dave certainly seems to think so! Maybe it was…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Paul’s on HOCHANDA TV today, at 10am, 2pm and 5pm. He has got some lovely demos lines up. In the meantime, I couldn’t resist using the new stamps which are being launched in a couple of Sunday’s time, on Sunday 7th February, when I’m back on HOCHANDA. They were sitting on the side, calling out to me to be used! So I did. You will understand as soon as you see them… So let’s…
Hi there! Happy Saturday! Having a great morning thus far, doing a bit of art and hanging out with Preppy Paul. Dad just rang. He’s been tracking all the guesses yesterday. “Your money’s safe Barb,” he said, “nobody guessed Amy.” Yep, he was listening to Amy Winehouse, Back to Black. Now tell me my Dad isn’t the coolest Dad in the world! I’m meeting my dear friend Debby for lunch in Tunbridge Wells, so I am writing very fast; the…
Hi there. Bit late today. Friday’s Blog a Private Peek? I went to the dentist in the morning, thinking we were having a consultation, and instead spend over two and a half hours with my head pointing southwards, while he drilled away a badly fitted crown at the front, and created a new temporary one. Not much fun. Then went over to Mum and Dads, to cheer up, and spend some time with my favourites. Dad has always been into music. Mum?…
Hi there! Good of you to drop in! Thursday’s Blog is always Blue, right? So I thought I’d have another look at the sky. remember on Tuesday, we got our Clarity Cloud Mask out with our brushes and a few Distress pads? (sale ends midnight tomorrow). I notice that I am always drawn towards artwork which has dark skies with stars. So let’s have a play, shall we? The Wee Houses and Shops went down an absolute Storm when we…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Jetlagged of Kent here! You think your body-clock has adjusted back to normal, and then you sleep through the 6am alarm clock and wake up at 9am !! Unheard of! Ah well. I think the secret is not to fight it. I remember when the kids were nippers and we used to fly back and forth to California when we lived there, you could calculate a day for every hour’s time difference before they…
Hi there. After all the excitement about awards yesterday, I think it’s time to get grounded and do some pleasant artwork, eh. Looking out of the window and I see sky, lot’s of it. So let’s do a little cloud work, shall we? Just for fun, I’ll do this exercise thinking out loud, just so you know what goes on in this mad head of mine! Ready? Right. Where’s Theuva Card? That’s the best card. Which colours shall I use?…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Oh boy! Have we got good news again!! This little blog of ours did it again! Even on the International Platform this year, we got GOLD !!! Chuffed. Very chuffed. We got Silver for Best Rubber Stamp Range, which is great, and I got Silver for Favourite Craft Celebrity, which is very flattering. So what can I say? Thank you. Thank you for voting if you did, thank you to the Clarity Crew for…
