HAPPY PAINT PARTY FRIDAY

Hi Everyone!

Happy Paint Party Friday.  A huge thanks to Eva and Kristin for hosting.

This has been a great week for us.  I drove DH to the ophthalmologist neurologist for a check up on the double vision. Hurraayyyyyy his vision has gone from a 10 (bad) to a 2 (much better) The doctor was pretty amazed that his sight had improved that much. He said the nerve damage is getting better. Well actually the brain is re-routing the signals to the good part of the nerve. Anyway.... the goal is to get clear vision looking straight on. He will most likely always have double vision off the the sides. It just feels like we are being blessed with good health news. Thank you for all of your continued prayers and healing energy.  

Now off to some art. I finished a leather piece and am pretty happy with it. 
Sugar Skulls on Leather.








Also here is my first face for 29 Faces


Have a great weekend everyone!

double vision and neurological problems sound intensely unfortunate!!! so glad it's getting better (though i must admit I'm curious what kind of art you could create with double vision)

I love your leather work Nicole. That sugar skulls are really cool. Seems this year there is a lot of Mexican Day of the dead type materials around, which hasn't been the case for a few years. So it is great to see these. Have a great weekend! Hugs-Erika

I am thrilled to hear that you and DH are being blessed with good health news. Your Día de los Muertos leather piece is stunning, and can envision on it framed in an art gallery. Blessings, my friend!

Great sugar skulls. I like the effect you achieve using wood burning on leather. Personally, I don't work with leather but I like what you do.
