Welcome Everyone-One World One Heart

!

Well,  it's  finally  here.  I  am  so  excited  to  be  a  part  of  this  world-wide  gathering  that  Lisa   is  hosting.  This  is  the  final  year  for  this  event,  and  I'm  so  happy  that  I  have  a  chance  to  be  a  part  of  it.   This  is  such  a  great  way  to  meet  other  artists  that  you  may  never  have  found  otherwise.   So,  it  goes  without  saying--Thank  You  Lisa!!!

So  for  those  of  you  who  have  never  been  here  before,  let  me  introduce  myself.   I'm  Diane  Salter  from  the state  of  Pennsylvania  in  the  US.   I'm  a  mixed  media  artist,  which  means  that  I  like  to  have  fun  with  anything!   I'm  always  up  for  something  new  with  anything  that  involves  color.   Some  of  my  favorite  mediums  are  acrylics,  graphite,  crayons, papers, more papers  (I LOVE  paper!) etc., etc., etc.......

Right  now  at  the  moment,  I've  been  painting  papers  to  use  for  my  artwork.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  I've  been  posting  alot  of  my  papers  on  my  blog,  and  quite  frankly  I  want  to  use  them  now.   I'd  say  that  this  party is  the  most  opportune    way  to  start  cutting,  tearing  and  collaging  with  them.    

I've  decided  to  have  a  gift  for  3  people  who  leave  a  comment  here  on  my  blog--

  I'm  very  attracted  to  mosaics.  And  I  really  like  the  look  I  achieve  when  I  collage  my  papers  like  this  to which  I've  added   these  very  cool  K & Co. borders.  I  like  to  layer  them  to  add  more  interest,  and  when  I  finish,  I  apply  a  gloss  varnish  which  really  makes  the  color  pop.
Each  of  these  pieces  represent  something  that  is  special  to  everyone--in  all  aspects  of  our  life.

Everyone  loves  flowers,  and  I  know  in  this  part  of  the  world,  especially  in  my part  of  the  country,  we  miss   them  terribly.    But  they  also  represent  a  new  beginning  in  growth,  and  eventually  the  buds  turn  into  beautiful  blossoms.  This  is  what  we  all strive  for.  And  you  always  want  to  continue  to  grow--it's  what  makes  life  an  exciting  adventure!

Aahh--the  beautiful  butterfly--another  version  of  growth  and  beauty.  Isn't  it  amazing  how  these  little  jewels  of  nature  start  out.   And  when  they  finally  reach  their  potential  with  all of  their  color,  they  have  wings  to  fly  into  the  world--to  soar  and  explore.   I  love  butterflies!!

And  finally  the  heart.  This  is  what  it's  all  about--One  World  One  Heart.  We  want  to  spread  the  love,  and  the  heart  is  the  universal  symbol  for  the  whole  world--love  of  our  families,  friends  and  life!   So  why  the  timepiece?   Well  time  is  the  one  supply  that  I  can't  buy,  so  I  cherish  my  time  each  and  everyday,  and  am  so  thankful  that  I  have  time  everyday  to  do  what  I  love  most.

I'm  so thankful  for  all  of  you  who  have  visited  my  blog  today,  and  all  you  need  to  do  for  a  chance  to  have  one  of  these  is  to  be  an  active  blogger  and   leave  a  comment  on  this  post  with  your  contact  information.  The  names  will  be  chosen  on  February  17.

And remember to go   here   to  visit  all  of  the  other  numerous  bloggers  that  are  participating  in  this  event--it's  a  BIG  party.

PLUS....if  you  haven't  already,  and  you  want  to  be  a  participant.....you  still  can!!   You  can  go  here ,  and  this  is  where  Lisa  describes  the  detailed  rules.  You  have  until  February 12  (my  birthday : )

And  now  I'm  going  to  start  my  journey  and  visit  everyone  in  the  One  World  One  Heart  open  house!
