PAINT PARTY FRIDAY 3/18

Hi Everyone!

I am writing this on Thursday evening so when I say it is my DH birthday it is for March 18.  I was looking at photos of him when he was young and "daaaammmmm" he was good looking. I was better looking back then too.  LOL  I like that we are growing old together, that it doesn't matter if he has 18" biceps and could pick me up and swing me around. Every day he tells me I am beautiful and I think "OMG" for him it doesn't matter that I am not a size 4 any longer with long flowing hair.  Our history has taken us on so many adventures and good or bad we have come through them together. Our perceptions of each other have just matured, grown closer and advanced to the next stage. I really dislike getting old but I am glad I have him to do it with. Happy Birthday Babe!

I have been really busy developing some new beading kits. I did manage to get a back ground painted, I have something very specific I want to finish this with. So just a small WIP and a new pattern for
Please stop by to visit the other artists who share their art every week. 



I have created several Pot Leaf beading patterns for jewelry, this one is a lighter cover.
The kits will be out this next week.






Wishing everyone a very happy weekend.

I love your tribute to your loving husband who is fine with your growing older even if you are not. I can relate totally!
But the good news is that we are alive to enjoy it so lets do just that. You are creative and I am enjoying watching the various mediums you work in. Thanks for sharing your art and your life!

Getting old is a pain but having someone is wonderful. I like the deeper friendship of being with someone for many years and all the shared life events. Cool bead kits and love the colors of your painting! Happy weekend.

I like both of your art this week but in different ways :) First one was probably very fun to create. The next one would be a nice addition anywhere :)
