We first started as an on-line discussion group using the services of Yahoo in October 2006. We have since flourished to an international group with artists from around the world; places such as Australia, United Kingdom and the United States. Most of our members met for the first time, putting face to computer name, in April 2007, at our annual Spring Convention, Coast to Coast held each year in Ontario. We hosted our very first Mix 'n Mingle Party wherein our members won prizes, played games, painted nametags, munched down on veggies and used our digital cameras until the batteries ran dry. Our Party was a great success thanks to a multitude of very generous sponsors who willingly and lovingly supported our new venture.

Our on-line discussion group is an opportunity for all decorative artists and/or artists "wanna-bees" who love to create art and/or love to paint from patterns. Canada is overflowing with artistic talent and being artists, we want to share, learn and create. In doing so, oftentimes there are many questions that want to be asked such as how do I use a certain product, where do I find a product and how do I "float". Sometimes we simply wanna brag about the beautiful piece of art we have created. Our discussion group provides such a venue! Our members are faithful, loyal, committed, passionate, enthusiastic, caring, and above all extremely giving! The talent amongst our members is unsurmountable. If you are looking for a teddy bear to paint, you'll find it amongst our membership. If Rosemaling is your interest, we have international teachers that will lead you down this path. You name your interest and I can guarantee there is a teacher amongst our membership that will encourage you, support you and teach you all you need to know.

We encourage you to join our family of artists. You'll meet a wide range of members who love their art and are passionate to share their art with you personally. You'll acquire a few great friends along the way!

Membership is absolutely free. Yes....that's right ....free! Because we want to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to learn about such an exciting artform!

We look forward to meeting you!
