PAINT PARTY FRIDAY

Hi Everyone!

Well last week I tried to post for PPF but blogger was having none of it.  I have tried to post during the last weeks and some came through and some didn't. Finally I think I have it fixed. I have been SOOOOOO busy re opening my Beadwright website, driving to Salem, OR., 3  hours one way for DH to have back procedures and today was the main one. Ablation of the nerves on both sided of his spine. We are so hoping this works for him. BTW this is a very painful procedure. YIKES.  I have been keeping up with art but fast and furious things and no photos. Beadwright website has been taking most of my time. Here are a few I did a few weeks ago. When thing calm down I will get photos of the other art and post it.  Thanks to Eva and Kristen for hosting Paint Party Friday and to the artist. I look forward to catching up.

I choose this for the hands.


I am still working on hands.


This really doesn't show the pattern very well but it is one of my original patterns.



Working my hands with a beaded bottle. The bottom is beaded as well.

This is from a photo of a friend of mine.

Sorry to read you've had troubles to post. I see your great art well. Dravings are so fine as always. Sure hands are difficult to draw.
Happy PPF ❤

I think hands are the hardest thing to draw and you have done it beautifully here. I love all of your art and had noticed your absence. I am hoping that the treatment works ... so sorry you have to go through so much. But, all is well that ends well ... fingers crossed :)

Hands are a problem for me as well. I just finished a Frida with giant man hands, but I left it that way. Love the beadwork.
