PPF

Hi Everyone!

It has been a fast and furious week. Just way too much going on and trying to rest my foot at the same time. Hmmmm doesn't really work. LOL I had a wonderful interaction with Monica from Nature Footstep  we started chatting about the balloon art and leather. We both prepared some leather then balloon painted it. Mine turned out more abstract, which is what I am and from that I am making leather flowers to go into a leather flower bouquet.

other art this week is beading
27" Cellini Necklace


Larger Cellini with a turn 
I really love these colors.


This is the Black To White display at the Siuslaw Library here in Florence, OR.





            It looks more dynamic in person. 
            The lighting is awful in the library. 

I hope you enjoyed the art and I look forward to seeing yours. 
I am linking with Paint Party Friday.

I missed you last week Nicole but whatever you have done to your foot I wish it a speedy recovery. I'm sure all the rushing around this week has taken your mind off what ever the problem/pain is. Lots of beauty to look at today, fabulous sculptured leather flowers and I always adore your precise beadwork, such a good eye with you pattern, a lot more neat than I could ever be.
Your monochromes are one big happy family hanging together. Magnificent display, I'm so proud for you.

Love the flower you created. Looks stunning. And, maybe I actually can make one myself with the pieces I have :)
Your exhibilion walls looks great. I like black and white. You can handle anything I think. I like youe beadworks as well, but I think my neck would not. They look heavy. :)

Hi, Nicole. Sorry to hear your foot is still giving you bother. You've made the most of your time, though. These pieces are wonderful.

Balloon painting produces an interesting effect! Too bad about the lighting at the library but at least people are seeing and enjoying your work!

DVArtist said...

Thanks Monica. Just wanted to mention that the beadwork is actually not heavy at all.
