Nicho Play Day

Wendy came over to play today and you know what that means!  We made NICHOS.  Wendy rolled up in her car around noon with half her studio on board, hauled it up upstairs, arranged herself comfortably at the table, and asked the burning question.  "Which nicho am I going to work on today?"

I looked at what she had unpacked from her 'luggage'.  A pile of about ten nichos lay in front of her.  It made me smile.


And so the afternoon slipped by.  About 3:30 we took a break and went out for a wonderful fish dinner.  Then back to work.  We worked straight through quite a spectacular thunder storm.  Well, I didn't.  I held Habibi, who was shaking uncontrolably.  Wendy rocked on and made Nicho #2, which I forgot to get a photograph of.  Here's the first ones we made though.  They will have to do for today.



"Ode to Frida"  My attempt to use images of Frida in an iconic way.  Overall, I was pleased with the attempt.  She will hang on my wall.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  We will chat later.  xx

Donna, I think your friend Wendy looks like fun! And I know she is a good creative influence, wow! She creates many wonderful pieces and she has a wonderful smile.

But I must tell you I am blown away by your nicho. You definitely made Frida Kalo look iconic and in a good way! I do not always go for images of her and yet your nicho I really, really like. Excellent! i look forward to seeing it on your wall ; ) you go! That seems to me, to be a special nicho. xo lenna

Love your these nichos! Your Frida definitely needs to be displayed - I love the images in the background. It is wonderful when a friend arrives with the whole project on board! Sounds like a wonderful day, except for the storm. Hugs - Rhonda
