Hi Everyone!
I had the best day with a visit from one on my Facebook friends. She was driving home along the Oregon coast from a visit to her brother's I was thrilled she had called a few days earlier so we could meet up. We had the best visit. I made dinner, we talked family, beads, art and much more.
So easy like we have known each other for life or a past life.
I also managed to get two more leather pieces done this week for my exhibit. It is just a few weeks away. In addition it is my SIL's birthday today. I sent off his gifts and wanted to share one that I made for him. I also did a quick draw but when I took the photo I saw waayyyyy to many flaws and decided not to show it tonight. LOL
First though a big thanks to Eva and Kristen for hosting
Paint Party Friday. I am looking forward
to seeing all the art this week.

Leather first. Most of you know I live on the beach in OR. I don't like it. I don't like sea art, I don't like nautical things in my house and I really don't like making ocean art. With that said, I figured for my exhibit I should make at least
one or two piece that reflect the area.

So abstract leather Whale
And Sail Boat
This is a cigar box that I sanded then did this layered painting to get this wonderful effect.
This is one of my SIL's birthday gifts.
The inside is lined with Nicole's BeadBacking Then a silver turquoise piece that actually belonged to my SIL's mother. So I know when he opens the box he will be happy.
This is my friend who came to visit me. When I saw this photo my thought was, "I feel so short" and then I remembered, "OH I am short." LOLOLOLOL

Honor and integrity
in art, in life.

Wonderful sculptures Nicole. How nice to be able to meet a cyber friend in person! And I just found out we are opposites because I LOVE the beach, and boats and such and cannot get enough of it. So I really appreciate your effort in making beachy themed art:) Happy PPF!
I think your abstract pieces are really pretty! I especially love how cool the whale looks. It's fabulous! How fun to meet a FB friend for real! :)
