Back to work today, and it’s like we’ve never been away!
But that’s okay. I’m ticking boxes as I go, which always feels good.
Firstly, Rosie is on Hochanda on Thursday, showing off Jayne’s wonderful floral frames. There were four summer and two winter ones. Remember them from last year?
it really lifted her spirits.
But who wouldn’t want these flowers in their craft box?
They ARE an Essential in my book!
and they both sold exceptionally well.
one for Groovi art and one for stamped art.
They contain beautiful photographs and 20+ projects by our talented Design team.
So much time goes into the art samples, and we thought it would be helpful to create little collections of inspiration with close up pictures.
As with Tina’s iiBooks, these are also wirobound.
I just think they are much more user-friendly. When you are trying to follow instructions, it really helps if the picture and instructions stay open at the desired page!
Jayne also left us other exquisite artwork to run with.
On Sunday evening at 6pm I shall be launching a very beautiful collection of Christmas Children by Jayne Nestorenko.
The images are so amazingly intricate, we really couldn’t go any smaller without losing the detail. So we didn’t.
And will there be iiBooks created to accompany these designs?
You are too right there will be! Not this weekend, but certainly very soon.
So yes. We are celebrating Jayne and her inimitable style.
and aren’t we lucky she had the foresight to call for Clarity?!
Glad you enjoyed Glastonbury, I enjoyed reading about your days.
The new plates and stamps are sure to be amazing. Sadly I can't buy it all and I can't make my mind up so I am going to TRY to save my pennies for Leyburn when I can see everything at close quarters. My list keeps growing longer!!
Hi Barbara, glad to hear you're managing to tick boxes, progress along the path, through the jungle, always helps lift the spirits, and make things less daunting. Beautiful new Christmas designs from Jayne.
Won't say any more, as too upset that Jayne is no longer with us, and won't know or see the reaction, response to her new artwork. Soooo sad.
Welcome back Barbara! I'm looking forward to seeing the shows tomorrow and seeing the little books but it's also great that the samples are getting a second viewing too!
And as for Sunday!!! Well what can I say! The stamps and groovi plates are simply stunning! Jayne artwork is beautiful and yes you've done it proud! I loved working with it and hope I've done it proud too!
My list for Layburn is growing ever longer too. By that time I should have a new job so should be able afford most of my list!
Same here Jackie, still need the Rose and Fuschia stamps to make my set complete.
Fantastic! I have the flower stamps and plates so will be looking for the ii books. The new Groovi plates look interesting as well.
See you on Saturday at Colemans.
Hello Barbara, back home after an amazing holiday in Florida. Not happy as it is raining here today. What a fabulous way to celebrate a very talented artist. I am loving the Christmas stamps and Groovi boards. Enjoy your evening.
Looking forward to seeing the shows. I already have both the stamp and groovi Agapanthus, the groovi Dahlias and groovi Christmas flower plates. Love the look of those new children stamps and groovi plates. Will be going on my wish list. I'm off to Berlin next week on a school trip, so will set up any shows I 'll be missing to record.
Just wonderful to be showcasing Jayne's work. I have been working on the last Christmas groovi plates – the detail is amazing. Thank you for a great blog as ever.
Thank you so much Barbara, they're both beautiful, amazing books, I can't wait to place my order.
What beautiful artwork Jayne left in her legacy to Clarity, these Christmas children look fantastic. I love the flowers, I've got both stamps and groovi and the agapanthus and rose are well used. It will be good seeing on tv again and the iibooks sound perfect. I'm off to set the box to record. Hope you are chilling out tonight.
Sorry I haven't been able to comment for a few days, but I did keep up with all your news from Glastonbury. What a ball you all had and a great way to relax and switch off. I loved all the pictures.
