If you click on the above image you will be directed to the blog for all the details and many blogs that participate in this worldly event to bring artisans together without borders.

The date for this event is running from Jan 30th- Feb. 17th 2011.

I am participating for my first time and only time but that is ok, last year I was new to blogging so I didn’t really feel I had a lot to share or contribute. A year later I have met some wonderful people who are like minded as me and willing to share their techniques and ideas or directed me to where I needed to go to find out the information. Thank you to all of you.

My name is Lesley, I am a decorative/ folkart painter and self taught mixed media artist.

I live in Canada where the climate is truly a mix of all types of weather.

I have been painting for several years now and have done the craft show circuit, taught small classes in my home and just had fun painting on anything and everything I could paint on...until.....I met paper.

I have fallen in love with paper and the versatility it has to offer in so many ways.

I learned quickly that you can use paint, ink, stamps, glues, recycled items from your home and on and on the list goes.

In short....I love to create. I find it therapeutic for  health issues I have, it takes me to a different place where I can just concentrate on what is at hand. I am always thinking ahead to the next project while I am creating in front of me. My hands are always busy.

During this event I would like you to visit me and look around my blog.

I have 3 little projects I am offering up for a prize, all you have to do is leave me a comment and you will be eligible to win. I will be picking the winners on Feb. 17th and announcing it right here.
