....and the winners are........

I would like to thank LisA for hosting this event . It was truly for a first timer of OWOH an exhilarating experience to meet so many bloggers sharing a comment on my blog.  It meant a lot to me hearing from you. My friend Nancy encouraged me to participate. She is a person who gives 110% and what we all got back is " One World One Heart "a thousand times.

Here is my assistance Skip picking the winners.

She is pretty smart for a border collie but don't worry she doesn't have a favorite colour.

Winner of the Boheminan Girl is.....

Marion ( bockel24) from Germany.

 Congratulations!

Please send me you mailing address.

Red things I like

I had a very eventful weekend and driving through rural Ontario I took pictures in a salvage store of vintage kitchen tools with red handles.

Happy Valentines ! XOXOX

midnight madness

This week I had another deadline and late last night I finished a set of ATC's for Artfest. I used my vintage cabinet card images, collaged and applied a layer of wax.  I filled the scratches with cadmium red oil paint mixed with cold wax.

I would like to introduce myself to new and old blogger friends. I started my blog last year and feel I am still a rookie blogger. There is so much to learn. Five years ago I decided to follow my passion and went to my first Art & soul event. This was the beginning of a ( hopefully) never ending journey to learn painting, working with metal, sculpturing, making books and encaustics. Last year I took my first quilting class and odds and ends of vintage fabrics are added to my collections. I have a weak spot for old, rusty things and somehow they find their way home to my studio. I love to spent time in the country with my border collie Skip and during the winter you will find me on my skis here in Canada. I never can sit still and during the summer months I am out in my garden or I am off with my friend taking photos of old barns and stopping at yard sales.

Inspired by my blogger friends I am thrilled to join Lisa's OWOH to meet new friends. This is my first year participating in this event and I am looking forward to meet new friends from all over the world.

 Each comment will be entered in a draw on February 17th . You will have a chance to win one of my encaustic pieces. I love to work with mixed media material. This piece is on a 9"x9" wooden panel and I used vintage papers and my own drawings for the background. I collect cabinet cards and used the image to do a transfer on wax. The finished piece is covered with resin.

This is my Bohemian Girl wearing a nest hat piece.

" Ambition" noun a strong desire to achieve something

Good luck to everyone and thank you LISA for hosting this event.
