Greetings!
Can you believe this will be the last FFO of the year? Do you have any traditions for bringing in the New Year? For me, my entire house has to be clean. On New Years day we make sure to have a pork dinner with greens, black eyed peas, and donuts. LOL All of these things bring good fortune for the upcoming year.
I have been staying off the PC as much as I can do to my eyes. Since I have opted not to have surgery until some time next year, I had to get new glasses. The sad news is since my last eye surgeries I have not had to wear glasses. I didn't realize how nice it is not to wear them. It will take 3 weeks to get my new glasses and until then I can't see well at all. So please forgive me for not commenting as I normally do.
Now for my face (s) for FFO. I have created some zipper art over the years but when I saw something like this made with keys, I had to do it with faces.
Please click on the photos to see larger view.

These are clay faces I made and painted.  |
After the zipper is in place the texture is applied.  |

And a close up of the texture.  |
Since my eyes are not focused in I will now be sharing the featured artist.
This week the number generator came up with #16
This is Cloudia with Comfort Spiral and this is Pixie
However, to end the year I want to acknowledge and thank everyone who joined in with FFO. This is last weeks list, if I missed you from previous weeks, know that I so appreciate you joining in and hope to see all of you next year.
I am also linking up with Gillena

Can't believe this year has ended so fast :) have a great new year Nicole
Not much happen with hubby and I on New Year eve or day.
Coffee is on and stay safe
Creative bottle art. Happy New Year soon!
Love your zipper art! Very cool effect.
I am super impressed with the zipper technique you used on this bottle. They are incredible. LOVE how you incorporated it in the bottle. I think this is my favorite so far.
Have a fabulous New Year, dear Nicole. BTW, although she is no longer playing, you really CAN'T forget Barbara.
What a wonderful display of arts you show. Thank you for hosting the face off event
Hello dear Nicole,
I'm wishing you happiness, good health and that many good things happen to you in the upcoming year. And I thank you for giving me and other bloggers inspiration and possibility to show it on your challenge blog. Thank you for all!
I wish your eyes get new glasses soon, and we can see your gorgeous art in the future, too. Your bottles are very unique and super!
Happy weekend and New Year 2023.
Hugs,
Sirkkis
Happy New Year.
All the very best for the New Year, Nicole, and crisp, clear vision in 2023.
I hope it will be better with your eyes. Your bottles are admirable. I wish you a good end of the year and a good cleaning :-)
This year my plan is to make it to bed. Still sick. Great holiday.And I can´t eat, but keep your choice in mind for next year!
Sorry about your eyes.
Is it nice to not wear glasses? I feel "naked" without mine, LOL.
I mean this as a compliment: Your faces remind of the movie Scrooged with Bill Murray :-)
"See" you next year, hopefully healthy!
Sorry to hear you have to wait for glasses. That must be hard. Hopefully you'll be able to see better once they came and while you wait for the surgery. I'm with you about a good end of the year/start to the new year clean. I'm about to start mine today. And this week's bottles are great. I love the cascade of faces. Happy New year Nicole. I hope 2023 starts off in a good way for you and continues that way too. Hugs-Erika
...Nicole, I hope that your eye sight gets straightened out soon. Happy New Year.
I have yet to get used to not wearing glasses. I still try to take them off when I go to bed. Ha ha. Although I do have a pair for reading and watching tv.
Wow! Thank you so much! We are honored. Thank you so much for hosting this sweet party. We like your work 🌹

Hi Nicole. Best Wishes for the New Year. Thank you for linking to The Twelve Days Of Christmas at my blog.
I will return to routine blogging and linking after the 6th of January 2023.
Much🌲love
Good luck with your eye treatments and new glasses -- I hope 2023 will bring you all together good health!

Zipper art ~ How cool, Nicole! I do hope your eye surgery works out well. Please be careful ~ Not being able to see clearly is challenging and frustrating. Take care!
thank you for being you and being so creative ~ love the keys ~ Xo
Wishing you a Healthy and Happy New Year,

lol, I realized there are faces in my Japan post. :) :)
I had my family visiting today so my mind was elsewhere.
I wish you and your loved ones a great and happy last day of 2022. And a wonderful first day of 2023.
Let it be a good blogging year with friends from many places.
Hugs

forgot to mention I love the bottle faces. :)
:)
I love your art Nicole, I used to make black eyed peas allot for New Years Day-maybe I will again for New Year's
Good luck with your eyes, as we get older so do our eyes-sigh we both had cataract surgery about 5 years ago that really helped, but both of our eyes are gradually declining again.
Thank you so much for your kind comments on my post hugs and Happy New Year to you and your family
Hugs Kathy
No New Year traditions. But I hope this one is considerably better!
Meanwhile, I send all good wishes for a happy, healthy new year! I hope your eyes will hold on well till the surgery. And glad to have "met" you this year!
Happy New Year! Hope your eyes have a good year.
Hi Nicole,
I've just read the comment you left on my blog: Thanks for your kind words, Nicole! I am in Naples now, as my mother and my two sisters live here in South Italy. My two daughters will spend the New Year's Eve in Florence (North Italy).
As soon as your grandson visits Rome in March 2023, he can enjoy "crazy pizza" (which you saw in my post two weeks ago) ... it is located in via Veneto, which is one of the most famous and elegant streets of Rome. It's also a fun street art, as you saw in my post that I wrote on the 19th December.
May you and your beautiful family have a great New Year :-)
P.S.: sorry to hear you have to wait for your glasses. I hope you'll get them in the 2nd week of January.
I'm sorry about your eyes-I do hope all will go well for you and the glasses will be a big help. I wish you a healthy and happy new year, and I am so glad we are blog friends!
