Hello there! Sorry I’m so late with this ‘ere blog! One minute I was at Waitrose at 10am, getting some groceries,  the next minute it gone 6, the boys are all fed, and it’s dark outside! Nonetheless, I have spent a pleasant hour or so here  in my little art heaven, just letting it take me away. I nearly spoiled my evening firing up a resentment about all the super professional, not very bloggy blogs  which are piling in nowadays. …

Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. What a sunny Saturday here in Kent! I’m sitting at the window, and the sun is just pouring in.  Very warm and calming. Yesterday was a busy day in London – and I shall certainly tell you all about it when I get the photos together next week. But the problem with busy, packed days is that you can’t stop to think or reflect. And the good thing about busy, packed days is that…

Hello again!Thank you for popping in. YouTube Tuesday recommences next week,  the first Tuesday in December. But today,  I thought I’d roll back the hours with a piece of artwork  which I did years ago on the telly.  It’s pretty basic. The ideas are good, but oh boy! Have I moved forward! Just take a look at this! A5 Claritycard used.  Make a border around the edge using low-tack masking tape. Wrap a thin elastic band around your Speedball brayer, …

Hi there! Wednesday already!  NEC Set-up day, so I can’t chat long! I was playing with our superb new stencil  that clever Jo Rice came up with, appropriately named Jo’s Bubbles If you check back to the blog I wrote on October 22nd, you will see how I arrived at loads of different backgrounds using the bubble stencil. Let’s have another go. Lay the stencil on the 7×7 Gelli Card and attach with masking tape. Using the mini Blending tools,…

Hello there! So sorry I am late today, but hey ho. I’m here now! Been on the go since 5am getting ready for the telly. The show felt a bit flat to me. Not sure why.  The Design Team samples were beautiful, I tried my best to do some neat demos.  The sales were good too!  But somehow, it just didn’t feel like it was gelling.  Until the very end that is! When Dave and I got home,  Mark was…

Hello there. Thanks for stopping by again. I do appreciate it. Especially today. Sunday’s Blog a step-by-step. Apologies for being a little later than usual,  but I have to confess, my day didn’t start out well.  I am sure you know what I mean when I say that I allowed somebody to sow something in my head, just a little seed.  But before I could process it intelligently,  it had sprouted into a mammoth issue,  and my head became a full…
