<description><![CDATA[ (Mar 6, 2013) March is the start of another busy season of exhibits, fairs and road trips for artisans across the region.  Over the next few months, we&apos;ll bring you some of the voices of the many folks in the North Country who make a living in their own workshops, basements and spare rooms.    It might sound charming - setting your own work hours - but the artisans we&apos;ve talked to say full-time art is not an easy decision and a lot of hard work.  Finding space, commissions, marketing, moral support, and reserving uninterrupted creative time are some of the challenges.Today, a trip to the woods near Harrisville, in the northwestern Adirondacks, to visit a couple who gave up jobs in marketing and at the post office to devote their attention to all things fiber, from woven rugs to knitted sweaters.   Lis Barsuglia-Madsen and her husband Michael moved from New Jersey to the North Country twenty years ago.   The new environment offered a chance to focus on following a dream  —  spending time together as artisans inspired by the mountains, deep woods and solitude.
