Friday Face OFF 2/10/23

 Hi Everyone!

I am happy that it is Friday Face OFF. (FFO) I have been trying to work with one hand and arm, thank goodness it's my left hand. So not much done this week. I had these leather molded skulls made from last year. I painted a canvas and then embellished it all. I feel like it's missing something, but Mr. M. said he likes it the way it is and wants it for his art room. OK by me. LOL



I was really wanting to draw something pretty. Ya know not a skull but just didn't get to it. I haver been sleeping a lot and having no energy. I will try to get something better done this next week. 
Now for the featured artist.
This week it is;
Be sure to check out her entire blog you will be happy you did.

You know the rules. Link up, link back, leave comments.
Have a great Friday.

Nicole

Hi Nicole. I wish I had been able to join you at FFO this week, but life got in the way. I am SO sorry. already have plans for something next FFO. Just hope I get time to finish it.

I agree with Mr. M. I think these leather skulls are brilliant. Just wonderful. Will they be going in your sale? I hope you will be feeling better soon. Sorry to read about your numbness. PLEASE take care of you, dear.

One hand's work is good too. you have a good mastering of your art

Fundy Blue said...

I think Mr. M. wanting it just as it is is a lovely complement. I agree with him, Nicole. Nicely done however you managed to do it. I hope you feel better soon! Take care!

I always like how you shape and form the leather to beautiful pieces. It is soo beautiful.

Tom said...

...Nicole, thanks for hosting the party. Take care and continue to get better.

Rostrose said...

Oh, THANK YOU for the nice introduction, dear Nicole. I'm a bit embarrassed as I don't show any actual artwork of mine, just photos - but I'm glad you like my blog.
I also like your leather skulls, two of them look very "moving", like ghosts in the wind... maybe that's what you're missing: the third skull looks more static than the others because of the leather that isn't "wrinkled"? But since ghost skulls probably also have different personalities, there is no need for all heads to look the same and not all have to have the same appearance...
Today you will get, among other things, the faces of big cats and oxen from me. You've already seen them - thanks for visiting my blog and for your nice comment ❤️.
ALL THE BEST from Austria,
Traude

I hope you get some treatment (and relief) soon. I am sure that working with only one hand is frustrating.

Debra said...

I will keep praying for you-my thoughts are with you, my friend. I hope you get real rest soon.

Neat piece for FOF! You may want to create something “pretty” when you feel better. We will count on it!

Cloudia said...

You are in my thoughts and prayers! You are a real artist

I thought I left a comment, but I guess I read your post and got interrupted. I'm sure your body is telling you it needs that sleep, so it's important to get it, as you know. Hopefully your energy will be back soon. Hugs-Erika

Giorgio said...

I agree with Mr. M., nothing missing in this piece of artwork. Of course, since art is in the eye of the beholder, you have a right to your opinion, Ha! Did I miss something. I knew you were experiencing numbness in you face, now it is in your hand and arm. I am so sorry ... I am glad your art is keeping you moving. It serves you well. I still wish you could go to Mayo Clinic... I know it seems like too much, but if anyone could help you, they could. In any case, I am glad you are hanging in and keeping up with your art ... art therapy you could call it :) You are ever in my thoughts, Nicole. I am hoping for the best for you.
