Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Thought I’d step up one of those fabulous bras from this morning’s Pergamano Show on Hochanda. It’s always very difficult to go into the techniques in any detail, so I hope this helps…. Here are the plates, the beautiful plates designed by Linda. These were the very first plates she ever designed for Clarity! Bit of a Landmark really. We’ve added 9 cardblanks and envelopes, plus the Crystal Blossom crystals as a gift. So…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Was filing away my stencils and having a general sort out the other day. Came across this lovely one: Dandelions, by Mel. I love this one. There’s something just so charming and simple and arty. I must have loved it from the very start – because it’s been made into a die, a stampset… AND a pair of Groovi plates!! We used these designs in a Craftalong on HOCHANDA too. Who joined in? The…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Remember last week we had a little competition? I asked you to tell me which Designer paper was used in the background of this card… So many of you guessed correctly! Yep, it is Northern Lights, the very first Designer Paper Set I designed! CLICK HERE So in the hat went all the names of all those who got it right, and one lucky name was randomly picked to win the £30 Clarity Gift…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Happy Mother’s Day! Woke up thinking about my Mum. I am one of those women in the world who is a mother, and who still has a loving Mother. So it’s easy for me to celebrate Mother’s Day at several levels today. I go back in my mind to my Grandmothers, and I remember them both fondly too. Grace and Mark, my kids, will be on the phone as soon as they wake up…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Sun’s shining here. 62 today, and it’s been a lovely day. So many lovely cards from your good selves, so many flowers and good wishes, phone calls from the family, sing-song and laughter all day. Thank you so much! What more can you want, eh? Feeling very grateful and content. I even filled the kiln and fired it up when we got back from our walk. I don’t know what I’m going to do…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Friday’s blog a private peek, right? Well, then let’s venture into the wacky world of potty pottery again. That magic place, where I come alive. You know I am happiest when I’m doing pottery, right? Anything. Coil work, slab work, wheel work. I love it, eat it, breath it. You know I do. It’s my passion. It makes my heart sing. I am no expert, in fact I am really at the start of…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Have been keeping busy and staying with my hands this week. When the head starts to wander down paths it really ought not to, I find an arty crafty session always redirects my thinking. My stinking thinking!! How about a simple step by step today, highlighting those excellent new Reflection Landscape masks which I talked about in the SHAC Shac yesterday. We have been working on these for a while now, and the result…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Remember on Monday, I challenged you to name that flower? To locate and name the flower that Linda used in one of her Time for Tea masterpieces? Well, what can i say, except that you DO LIKE A CHALLENGE!!!! Over 200 of you gave me the correct answer! Seriously. Over 200!! So that tells me that either you know your Groovi plates (REALLY WELL!), or you are bored witless, and actually scrolled through all…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. As you know, when the pandemic hit, many things were cancelled, including our annual retreats. They are a big part of the Clarity Events Calendar. Realistically, we don’t think that the Ditton Open Days will be possible this year – it’s too soon. 300 people gathered together in June when we can’t even hang out with the neighbours yet?!? Mmm…next June sounds safer! We are still working on the Ditton Retreats for this summer…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Happy International Women’s Day !! Thoroughly enjoyed creating our tall flowers, with the lovely leggy stems in the SHAC Shac today! Did you join in? I’m loving seeing your art on Clarity Worldwide! It’s great to see so many of you saying it with flowers too. Really easy way to make a greeting card, isn’t it x It occurred to me while we were turning the stems into words, that we do have a…
