Friday Face OFF 10/28/22

 Greetings!
 
Thanks for stopping by for Friday Face Off.
I hope you join in. It's simple, make a post featuring a face. Put a link back to my blog, link up with Mr. Linky, leave a comment here then go see what all the other artist have created. It can be any kind of face from nature to aliens, monsters, and oh yes humans. LOL
Today is my last skull in graphite. I have so enjoyed drawing these but it is time to move on. Ya know to molded and sculpted skulls.
If you didn't see my post yesterday I am making shrunken heads. These are my mummified shrunken heads.

 


 


 What is a house without a prehistoric skeleton?

 



 These are resin skulls with great detail. The sit by Marie.    

This is Marie. She stands a foot tall. I hand carried her home from one of my trips to Mexico.  


 Her head swivels too.


 So classy and sassy at the same time. I love the umbrella.


 Now she is looking the other way


 Come on how sexy is that leg?


 
It was pumpkin carving time in Florida with the great granddaughters.

You draw skulls so well, I will be sorry to see them end.

What fabulous prehistoric skeletons. Marie was well worth being hand carried home, too.

Those carved pumpkins are incredible. They are all wonderful, but the cat is my favorite. Those witches are actually beautiful.

I will more than likely not be able to link next month, but I will be back joining FFO on December 9.

Halloween is very spooky where you are! You have done a great job with these scary creations. You could have been a valuable addition to the props department of horror movies!

This is a fun Halloween post. Your great granddaughters are adorable. I bet you wish you lived closer to them. I have a similar bird skeleton out in my house right now too, but I bet you keep yours out after Halloween is over. I like your Mexican lady too. I think your son inherited his Mom's talent. Those Jack-o-lanterns are amazing. Have a great weekend Nicole. hugs-Erika

Rostrose said...

Dear Nicole,
your skull in graphite looks so lifelike (can you even say that in this context ;-D) - I think you know what I mean ;-)
You've already sorted out plenty of scares with skeletons and (great) shrunken heads.
I wish you wonderful last days of October and Happy Halloween!
All the best from Austria,
Traude

You have some fabulously scary faces there and I don't mean the children.

roentare said...

Thank you so much for the feature! Google spam filter is killing me that I cannot even make more than 10 comments a day lately. Love your skeletal drawings and fossil pics. Beautiful and striking as ever

Su-sieee! Mac said...

You are a wild and crazy Great Grandmother (really, you are old enough to have great grandkids?) I love Marie ... My mother would have loved Marie ... she is a classy lady and what a hoot. I love what you do and you put so much energy and fun into your artwork. This was wonderful Nicole ... I know you will have a Happy and Safe Halloween ...

Congrats on both the skulls and the prehistoric skeletons, Nicole! And great job with the four pumpkins I see on the kitchen's table.
I already saw that eyes fixed expression of "Melbourne Street Photography"'s black and white portrait.
The two misses in the picture with your son are adorable.

Have nice weekend, Nicole!

Rita said...

Beautiful granddaughters!
Happy Halloween!! :)

Divers and Sundry said...

I like the skeletons and skulls year 'round ;) Please greet your witches for me :)

Fundy Blue said...

A fun post from beginning to end, Nicole! Your great granddaughters are so sweet. I can tell from the expression on you son's face what a great grandfather he is. Those pumpkins are charming and so is your classy sassy lady.
