Paint Party Friday 6/29

Hi Everyone!

I have missed a few weeks due to traveling. Not for fun, rather taking hubby to doctors apts.  I have a few pieces to show this week and I am happy with both of them. First a big thanks to Eva and Kristen for hosting Paint Party Friday and to all the artists who show up to show off their art. 

I had this leather piece made up for a few weeks and finally finished it up yesterday. This was so much fun to make and there is another one ready to decorate on my art table.




Today I got up at 4AM. I really do love early morning days. I have accomplished a lot including this piece. It was nice to get into the paints.
Wishing everyone a great weekend.

Oh yes, yes, I love that leather work!!! It's always a miracle to see an item in different use what it's originally meant or statues which look like human, you can sit or stand with them etc. Great piece!
I will have a summer break from blogging ,
hope you have a good and relaxing summer!

Hi, Nicole. Hospital appointments do take up a lot of time. But it's just one of those things. Your leather art amazes me and your painting is superb. Have a great weekend.

Wow Nicole, that leather piece is amazing! Very creative, and I'm wondering how on earth you do this.... I also love your painting, I like the texture, and it looks like it was done in a painting frenzy. I love the wild strokes and the joy that it expresses. About Instagram: you can install "Gramblr" on your computer, and then you can upload all your pictures from your computer. No need for a phone :-)

Oh WOW Nicole!!! Your cup and saucer leather piece is so unique. Love it! I adore the blue canvas piece also! Is that made from carved leather over canvas? Simply GORGEOUS!!! So sorry for your hubby and you. Health stuff effects everyone. I am glad you can find some time to just get creative and enjoy some alone and peaceful time. Sending love and light your way. Big hugs to you, Rasz

your leather work this week is outstanding. It must have been difficult to make it work with the "pouring" Love it a lot. And the painting is pleasing to look at.

Your painting is So cute--I just love it... Your leather works just boggle my mind. This piece fills my eyes, which is the greatest compliment I can give.
