Paint Party Friday 5/20

Hi Everyone!

I have been gone,  just busy with life and selling art. I am thrilled that people have taken a liking to my paintings. 
The 3 Golden Face series has been keeping me most busy. 
Spring is finally here and we are getting some nice sunny days, with rain and wind in the mix of course. 
Perfect for my garden that is blooming like crazy.
A huge thanks to Eva and Kristin for hosting Paint Party Friday.
 I am looking forward to see what all the other artists have created. 
Please click on the link so you can enjoy creativity from all the artists who join in. 

New 3 Golden Faces


 This is an older piece of bead art I created. These are all beaded Swarovski Rivoli 14mm crystals. 
Each one is beaded differently, then sewn to the beaded necklace.

Even the clasp is made by me with a Swarovski Rivoli.

This is the last of the 3 Golden Faces. Aslo on beadwright.com

your artistic talents lie in so many different crafts Nicole - those necklaces are so intricate and detailed and the three faces series is really intriguing - there's a real sadness in those expressions. Congratulations on the sales - wishing you many more.

Both your new and your old 3 Golden Faces are gorgeous. And the beaded and crystal necklace is more than awesome. It must have taken hundreds of hours to make. So beautiful.

Hi Nicole! I've been MIA for a little while too. Love the faces! They are very unique and interesting. I can see why people are taken to your painting! Great piece.

I love your beaded necklace. It is beautiful! I know how long that probably took you. I beaded for years and years until it became too difficult. That's when I found mixed-media, lol.

Glad I got to see your creations today! Happy PPF and big hugs to you! Rasz
