Hi there! Good of you to pop in. Mindful Wednesday is the day I blog from the heart, and we try to make some sense of this crazy thing called Life! I have just spent a very soothing Groovy afternoon at the Crowborough Retreat. If you were ever looking for a creative activity which requires as little or as much thought as you can rustle up, but keeps you focussed on the Here and Now, then our Groovi Parchment System is…
Hi there! Glad you popped in! What a good day we had on Day 2 of the Crowborough Retreat today! And what fabulous artwork the ladies and Doug produced! All the guests had been on the retreat before; so many already knew each other. It was just a great atmosphere, a good buzz about the place. We even had a sing song whilst cleaning our stencils… This will bring back memories… “Mummy Mummy, why are your hands so soft?” “Because…
Hi there. Good of you to drop in. Day 1 of the Crowborough Retreats went very well. What a lovely group of arty individuals! I thoroughly enjoyed it. Long day, but all the prep paid off, I think. Before I stop though, I would like to go back a day, to yesterday’s Canvas blog; the yellow grunge town stencil: While I was making this one yesterday, I was also making a second one, with the second ink of the first…
Hi there. Thanks for calling in. I wanted to thank all those of you who left messages of concern and love yesterday. I read them all to Dave, and we decided to listen for once. Watch this space… Pleased to report that Dave is feeling much better than yesterday. Easy does it and slowly does it though. I spent the day with good and loyal friends, staff and family, preparing for the week of retreats. Everything is ready and waiting,…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. I actually started doing a canvas early afternoon, after a delightful stroll in the morning sunshine through Calverley Park and the Pantiles in Tunbridge Wells. Had it it all mapped out: A bright yellow backdrop, spread out with a brayer, inked up the town stencil with black Archival laid it on the yellow canvas, and was just about to squeeze it through the E-bosser, when Dave came in from gardening to find me, to…
Hi there. So good of you to pop in at this late hour. What a weeeeek! I shall be glad to get my head on the pillow tonight! But since this is Canvas week at Clarity, I want to share one of my little pieces of artwork with you, which I am really chuffed with. Don’t know if I could ever duplicate it either. I remember getting some stick from a few critics over this one when I blogged it…
Hi there. Nice of you to drop in. Actually, only just got in! Long day! What happened to the blog tonight? This happened to the blog tonight! Revving up for next week’s retreats. Prepping and planning with our Ian. It always looks worse just before it gets better…. It’s all there too, just not in the right bins or trays! So much still to do! I do so hope you like what I have planned! Will it be Groovi? Yes!…
Hello there. Welcome to our Mindful Wednesday blog. I say OUR, because we are certainly building a little community here. I get it. I really do. We obviously want to enjoy our days more than perhaps we sometimes do. And here is a place where we can go to, to perhaps pick up a few pointers. Not everything I say here will resonate with everyone. That would be impossible. But if anything, just one little thing, can help somebody, anybody, …
Hi there! Apologies for posting so late! YouTube Tuesday, and we have here what I think is a real endorsement of Groovi potential. When you look at the detail in these Snowflake Plates, you really get the picture. Literally. These two plates will give you hours of pleasure – of that I’m sure. Snowflakes Christmas Groovi Plate Set Combine them with the Groovi Plate Starter Kit, and off you go! Starter Kit See you tomorrow. Mmmm. Mindful Wednesday and a…
Hi there, Well, that’s day one of the week almost done. Did you enjoy your Monday? Mine was hectic, but productive. Lots of plate spinning; no casualities – yet! So let’s chillax and do a little canvas. That’s what I fancy. A little canvas. Nothing too big. Not today. I think I’ll go with a 6″ x 6″. Good, manageable size. First things first. Let’s brayer a layer of Concrete or Cheesecake Fresco Acrylic Chalk Paint. Couldn’t find my Cheesecake……
