Happy Thursday and Happy Holiday to each of you! I hope that you are all un-stressed and are prepared for a magnificently blessed holiday!
I just had to share something with you today that I just received from Mike Laverty, an unbelievable artist and the sweet, kind, talented and wonderful hubby of Suzan! Mike doesn't have a blog and I knew you just had to see his splendid work! The picture above shows this beautiful triptych of Santa in the sleigh with his reindeer with lights behind it. Isn't it beautiful!!! The picture below shows the great detail that Mike put into the amazing gift to me. He made the wood frames to surround the hand cut copper and he used frosted glass behind the copper. I am so amazed at the beauty of this work of art!!! Thank you so much, Mike, for this absolutely lovely holiday triptych! I love it!!!
These are the ornaments that Mike made for me last Christmas. There is so much detail work on both the three dimensional snowflake and the Santa and reindeer ornaments. Mike is a true craftsman and woodworker!!
And this is the handmade basket that Mike made for me for my birthday so that I can keep candies close at hand when I am coloring and crafting!! Can you believe it??
I also wanted to remind you of the Friday Sketchers 2nd Annual Holiday Blog Hop tomorrow where you will find SWEET STUFF all along your hopping way!! So please drop by and see what's happening at my blog tomorrow!
Thank you so much for dropping by and I hope to see you tomorrow. Sending Holiday Hugs to each of you!!!
