Hello there! Wednesdays Blog is something new, so here is a brand new, very lovely A5 Stencil, which Annie drew. I love it. Houses of Stars, it’s called.

Had a few runs at a few different ways, with varying degrees of success, and concluded that the best way forward,…

Happy 4th July! We had a Celebratory Sale launch yesterday, using a very American stencil, Friday’s blog a private peek, right? So where’s the American connection I hear you wonder. How does a girl from London end up with these strong ties to the U.S? Her daughter’s in New York, her son’s in California… It’s really easy: marry an American! Ironically, their Father is a New Yorker, although we met in Germany and lived in Northern California. Grace was born…

Hello and Happy Monday. Thank you for stopping by. I hope you don’t mind, but today, I really just have to play catch up, and spend some time with the family. So I decided to simply post a piece I did a while ago, which I really, really like. Don’t know how I arrived at this screen-print look, but the offset certainly helped. I used a stencil of ours, the Dotty Leaf A5, on an 8″ x 10″ Gelli Plate…
