Hi there! Thanks again for joining me. Took the kids over to Oma and Grandad’s this morning, had some of Oma’s good ol’ German potato soup, and left them there. They wanted to spend the weekend with their grandparents, which I think is pretty special, don’t you? Just like the good old days, when I used to drop them off with Mum and Dad, so that I could go do a show, an exhibition or a workshop. So here I…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Had a hankering to get my Gel Plate out and play with some paint. The little Petites are great, but sometimes you just need a bigger one! So out with the 6″ x 6″ Wasn’t sure where to begin, but I do like our Wee Houses Stamps. and our Wee Shops So let’s use them! Especially because they come with masks, and we need masks for this trick! Stamp out a row of houses…
Helloooo… Do come in. I know it’s rather spooky. Amazing what you can do with our Town stencil, a dose of Grunge Paste and a bit of acrylic paint… The sequence is worth noting. 1.Cover the card with paint by walking the brayer all over, left to right mostly. 2. Drag some Grunge paste through a portion of the stencil, in from the bottom, letting it fade as it gets to the rooftops. 3. Once the paste has set, walk…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Once the workshop came to an end today, and we waved goodbye to our lovely guests, I shot off to see the dentist again, to get to the root of the problem… (excuse the pun). Nothing he could do to help except assure me that Dry Socket hurts like hell, (no shit Sherlock), but that it does get better after 2 to 3 weeks. And the good news is it’s already been a week!…
Hi there! How has your day been? Mine is still going strong! I am up to my elbows in paint, and having a fine old time! 4 hours later: It all started with a brand new Polka Dot Stencil, which Jim designed and presented me with this evening on the way out of the door at 6. “There’s 24 spots!” he said, “brilliant for an advent calendar”. True. I will leave that one with you …. So this is it,…
Hi there. Rainy Sunday, or what?! Thanks for popping in. First day off in a while, but what a brilliant week we had in Crowborough at the Retreats. I thought I would dig out a little canvas board today, a really little canvas board, a 4″ x 4″. If you are new to canvases, I think it is a good idea to start small. This is smaller than your average card, so no big shakes at all. And as we…
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……
Hi there! Thanks for dropping in so late. I know. I just can’t seem to get ahead here. But hey. Haven’t missed a day yet! Long day at the office, trying to get a handle on the mini explosion we are experiencing in the middle of our little company. The Groovi Revolution has turned us upside down! Sorry if we are slow in getting your orders out at the moment. It’s not for lack of motion, I can tell you!!! But…

Hi there. Thanks for dropping in this Sunday. Have been really looking forward to getting back up here in my little art den, and doing something. Anything! Isn’t it amazing how being creative, getting with your hands becomes such a part of you? I have missed my daily art fix! I invested in a very VERY expensive pair of scissors whilst in Germany too, so I want to try them out… I had a really brilliant cheap little pair for about…
