Hi there. Thanks for popping in. After the SHAC Shac this morning, I am heading over to my parents, to deliver their food and supplies. And to spend an afternoon in the company of my oldest and dearest friends. As the lockdown continues, I find more and more that my priorities are shifting, that I am grateful for so much that I previously took for granted. And going over to Gillingham to see Mum and Dad is a highlight. I…
Hi there Thanks for popping on. Been heads down and prepping all day for Sunday’s TV shows. Got some superb new stencil and stamps on the 2-4 pm show. I was up to my elbows in Distress Oxide Spray, alcohol ink, texture paste, gelli plates – it’s going to be a real arty, messy session! And at 6pm we are launching a fabulous new collection of stamps. Remember those wonderful children illustrations by Linda Williams, that we made into Groovi…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Can hardly keep my eyes open this afternoon. Absolutely cream crackered. That’s what comes of working into the night; what you gain one day, you lose the next. So it’s time to have an afternoon catnap. But before I curl up with the cats and have a kip – because I is truly kippered – I want to flag up a new arrival on the website! Finally. Black Posca Pens. They are deluxe, smooth…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. If you caught last week’s TV shows on Hochanda, you will have seen this demo showing off lovely Lily, of the Clarity Character family… Still available at the greatly reduced price too! CLICK HERE It was a bit cold that day, so we made her sleeves a little longer too…. And since she was staying indoors, she said she wanted to wear her stripey nightie too. Something comfy and cheery. Maybe it’s the closet…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Well, it’s certainly busy at Clarity Towers!! The Half Price Members Sale has kicked in – and yikes!!!! Just as well I took some time out on Saturday, to regroup and turn a few pots. Just 3. Nothing special. Just three pots. Three shapes. Three sizes. Paid attention to the bases this time. First one was just plain and simple. Second one I made a little foot with the trippy twirl. Third one I…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Last day of the first month of the year. Woke up to a glorious pinky grey sky – stunning. So let’s call it National Optimistic Sunday! In fact, forget the borders! Let’s call it INTERNATIONAL Optimistic Sunday. Onwards and upwards with vigour! Here’s a simple card from me to you, using our lovely silhouette Characters, a couple of larger Word Chain stamps and the smaller of the 2 Rectangle Backdrop Stamps. I made a…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Saturday’s blog a new technique, right? But new to who? To me? To you? Depends when you got on the Clarity bus, I guess! Here’s an idea I developed way back when, which is very cool – and so easy to do. Believe it or not, I found this in my 2013 library! Good God! Where does the time go? All you need is double-sided adhesive sheets and Mica powders. And those – we…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Hope you enjoyed the TV show and the SHAC Shac today. The sales certainly reflected interest in the backdrop stamps and the Clarity Characters!! It’s always heartening when it works. Thank you. Looking through my thousands of project photos yesterday, I found a perfect combination of Clarity Character Annabel used in combination with one of our Clarity Classics, which you may even recall from the early SHAC Shac doodle days: Our Tall Trees (which…
Hi there. Thanks for popping . All set for tomorrow’s 9am TV Show on Hochanda now. I LOVE the stamps I am showcasing ! We took a set which I illustrated years ago, and put a new spin on them… Do you recognise these? These are the silhouette Clarity Characters…. And here are the individuals with matching panel stamps… I drew them years ago. Clearly, they are timeless, because they certainly fit right in today – as they did way…
