sketches in stitch!

Whilst playing with the dolls heads, testing out ideas I started this little piece, only on a scrap of canvas, mainly trying out a face but the owls just extended from her and I kept going.
 Its not one of my favorites but I love how it just appeared without me really intending it to!

Ive been doing some sketches for some Owl - lady hybrids this weekend, I think the dolls may end up being experiments in this way, I will photograph sketchbook pages when its light and share my plans tomorrow.
My family are going away for a few days to see the in laws at the end of the week so Im looking forward to a bit of uninterrupted making!!! how very exciting x

    Like all the eyes in this piece. Lots and lots of stares
    Also good that lady has different eyes. Ted Neely/David Bowie etc

    lovely~ i think sometimes making things "spontaneous" is better than planned :))

    thanks guys, I think your right about spontaneous works! very little planning goes into what I do but when things just "happen" you realise how much subconscious planning is going on in the other works.
    I really wish I could free up much more so these spontaneous works could happen more often.
    maybe that will come when i have a bit more time?
