Happy Sunday. TV in the morning, then lunch with Mum and Dad. Slow drive home in the fog, and now a little chat to my Blogfriends before a film and a log fire with Dave. I hope you enjoyed the show this morning. My God! Those Wee Folk didn’t hang about for long! I can’t remember a show when a stampset shot out of the door before we even had time to complete the product walk down the counter! If…
Hello there. Thanks for popping in. What a rainy Saturday here in Kent! Is it wet where you are? I quite like being indoors when it’s cold and dreary; beats a bwisk walk in the wain, that’s for sure! Actually, we really ought to go support Mark. Crucial rugby game this afternoon…. Mind you, things are coming to a head here at Clarity. Well in my corner that is. There are so many plates spinning at the moment, I can…
Hello there! Thanks for stopping by on the last day of the year. It being Wednesday (Wednesday’s Blog is something new), and it being NEW YEAR’S EVE, I thought I would tackle something new, which I hope will grow in 2015. I just want to really get arty, let my hair down a bit and get more adventurous! Are you up for it? Let’s tackle a tiny little canvas board and see where it takes us, shall we? This, my…
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by. In the lead up to the New Year, thought we could paint the town Red, Yellow, Green, Purple. You pick! Here’s my way of having a good night – Grunge Paste and a great Clarity Stencil! Town Stencil Now I know this video took nearly half an hour, but remember: this is in real time. I literally started with a blank canvas…. So actually, it is a very quick process with incredible potential. Items…
Hello there! Thanks for stopping by on this sunny Sunday. Woke up this morning and was pondering today’s blog. The first thing which came to mind was LEFTOVERS. (probably because we’re going to be eating leftovers for at least a week!) So I came up to my little room, and unearthed a bunch of LEFTOVERS from Gelli Plate demos I did at various exhibitions this year, using the Leafy Swirl Stencil Oh boy! Have I done a lot of demos…
And into the Craft room! Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. Those pesky little menaces, Wurka and Hollick were up bright and early again this morning. This time they were trying to convince me at 5am that I hadn’t boiled enough spuds for today’s potato salad, and that the potatoes I had boiled were over-cooked and would just turn to mush. So uppy getty, send Davey to shoppy for more spudsy. Now we’ve got enough potato salady to feed a…
Hi! Back again, but this time with a easy step by step stencil trick. In the lead up to Christmas, most will be too busy to think about making anything apart from sausage rolls! But there will be some who still really enjoy this brief creative intermezzo here, so I shall carry on undeterred! Right. Here’s a lovely stencil The Dove Heart Stencil There’s another one, which has the same feel, but comes with deer instead. The Deer Heart Stencil…
Hello there!Thanks for popping in again. I want to thank all of you who left a comment on yesterday’s blogpost. It was a real turning point for me actually. After all my protests about Panic Saturday, and “I’m not stepping foot in a shop today”, late last night I went shopping after all! But not as you think. Took somebody’s suggestion, looked up local food banks and their needs, went to the supermarket, filled the boot with – as Wanda pointed…
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by. Wednesday already ! Oh boy! Christmas Eve is looming fast here, and I haven’t written a card yet!!! I am rubbish, I really am. What an ambassador for a stamp company! But this evening I shall get my act together…. Here’s a little Christmas offering, in anticipation of this Big Freeze which is supposed to be descending on us in January. Hands up who believes it…. Used a Deckle-edged die, which is very unusual…
Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. Wednesday’s blog is something new, so here’s a brand new kit which was showcased on TV recently. Oak Deer Set The question is : Is it a he or a she? Well, girls don’t have antlers for a start! So unless she’s wearing falsies, it’s a boy! Is it a Moose, or is it a Stag? mmmm… the jury’s out on that one! Let’s have some fun either way! Let’s only use a part…
