Hi there Thanks for popping in. We went back to the Ginkgo Tree in the SHAC today, and developed our doodles with designer parchment. Here I have worked on the Toscana Collection… . You may have seen me stamping onto parchment in the past; this is next level, where you transfer your illustration through the translucent parchment, and then erase the colour at the back… If you like the look of this kind of art, then NOW…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. It’s the NEC Craft Show this coming weekend. It always loomed very large on the Clarity Calendar. In fact, it loomed large for about 25 years – every March and November. A huge 4-day show. Set up is on the Wednesday (day after tomorrow) and the show runs from Thursday to Sunday. We usually broadcast TV shows LIVE from there too! Every single day! But last year and March this year it was cancelled…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Did you manage to join Hayley, Leonie and myself on today’s TV Shows on The Craft Store? If you did, thank you! If you didn’t, then you can always watch on catch-up: 9am HERE and 1pm HERE I tried to squeeze in as many demos as I could with lots of tips and tricks, but time always seems to run out! One of the stamp sets featured on the show was the Clarity Charity…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Just a quick heads up for tomorrow morning on the Craft Store at 9am, and then again at 1pm. I am so looking forward to showcasing a bunch of Tree stampsets – some real Clarity Classics coming your way! There‘s a real mix of stamps, stencils – old, new, revamped and revised – the products, not me! Here are some some of the items being shown: Here is some inspiration from…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. I’ve been busy today, setting up a little Clarity Christmas Pop-up shop for Tomorrow at 3pm on Facebook and Youtube LIVE. Spent hours faffing about, trying to make the SHAC look like Santa’s Grotto!! Grothole more like!! There’s so much stuff in this little room, I just seem to shuffle it around! I do shuffle it in a clockwise direction though, so eventually it ends up back in front of the cameras! However. Emptying…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. A set of stencils caught my eye at work this morning. They are frameless. Brilliant for pottery AND Mixed Media! So I decided to have a play with them when I got home this evening. Upstairs for a change, in the arty painty inky part of my little Art studio!! You know. Get away from the news, the TV. Do something creative. MAKE something. ESCAPE. They are those new stencils we recently launched in…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Forgive my absence over the past few days; I needed a couple of days to catch my breathe after a very memorable few days at the Spa Parchment Retreat in Tunbridge Wells. After so many, many months spent avoiding people and being pretty much isolated, it was quite overwhelming to see so many old friends, familiar faces and loyal Clarity customers all together again. Not in the altogether! All together!! Can you believe I…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. What a fab 2 days we have just had! Such lovely artwork! And such a buzz of creative energy! Great bunch of ladies, lovely art, all round good energy. It has been so good to get together again. For many it was the first time they had ventured out into a crowd since Covid, so you can imagine that was quite something. The Spa Hotel is a beautiful venue, and the staff are…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. A little hazard warning to the wise. There’s a White Van Driver around the Tunbridge Wells Area. Moreover, it’s a SHE – and it’s ME! It’s a biggun too. Much taller and wider than usual. AND it’s got a useful tail lift thingy, which I have also mastered! Amazing what you can do when you have to. The Spa Hotel is all ready to welcome our Parchment retreat Guests now, the shop is looking…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Have you ever looked at a craft project and said, “I’d NEVER be able to do that?”. I bet we all have. The thing is, you’re probably right. Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t, either way you’re probably right. You’ll probably NEVER even try, because you’ve already decided you’ll NEVER be able to succeed. So if you have already failed before you’ve even given it a go, then chances are…
