Friday Face OFF 6/24

 Hi Everyone!
Welcome to Friday Face Off. FFO. To join in is very easy. Write a post, feature a face, put my link on your post, then come by here, link up and leave a comment. Show me your face in any medium, any kind of face. 
Today I am showing some of my favorite leather faces. All of these were made BC ya know before covid.
I seriously can't remember when I made this face. Maybe 10 years ago? I do remember painting the face white and then thinking, "What the hell am I going to do with this?"
I used pastels to shade  and add a bit of color and I fell in love with him. I have been asked many times to sell him but I won't. I placed him on one of my tiles and he lives in my stair well. On the wall, of course. LOL

 



 


 
I created these for a feature display at our library BC. 
 
Most of my leather faces do NOT have a mold under the face. The leather stands on its own.

 



 


 
This last piece I do know when I made it. 1994. Yes, it's another one of my favorites.
I hope you enjoyed some of my leather art.
Now let see who wins the feature this week.
How can you not love this face? Check out Barbara's blog to see just how creative she is.
 
Now I just can't stand it. 
My Son and my Great Granddaughters.

Have a great day today!

I do love your leather moulded faces, you've such a talent Nicole, superb contrast of colour in 1994, a memorable year for me the year of my first born. Really sweet to see your Son & Granddaughters, lovely happy faces. Happy FFO, I don't see a Mr.Linky to link up but I'll pop back later to see if he's woken hee hee.

Hi Nicole! I also fell in love with your fantastic man face; there really is something special in him. The other ques are fine too, I'd say. Thank you for sharing lovely photos of your 'living' loves.
By the way there is no place in this post to leave challenge picture!!

Hi Nicole, OMG, you are so talented! I knew we would see your leatherwork at some point here, I love the white one especially! Did I miss it, is the Mr. Linksy hiding?

I love your leather faces Nicole. They have a great "energy" and "flow" to them, just like a moving body does. And wonderful photos of your son and great-granddaughters. I think I am missing your link up for Friday Face Off this week. I'll stop by later to see if it's just not added yet as you're 3 hours behind me. Happy weekend. Hugs-Erika

Great faces, as you do every week. I can’t work out how you could possibly be a great-grandmother! It seems unreal to me. Your two great-granddaughters are very cute.
