More very messy water colour art; These two faces were originally supposed to be coloured sketches that resemble some of my clay faces. After adding more and more water they became less like faces and more like pareidolia or abstract forms that slightly resemble faces.

Messy water colour faces/pareidolia, part 2 .. #experimentalart #pareidolia #expressivewatercolours #abstractart #primitiveart #outsiderart

I love doing these very liquid saturated faces. This one is extra interesting because it bled through so much that it created a second image on the back. .. #expressivepainting #experimentalart #sketchbookart #watercolourpainting #coffeepainting #pareidolia #primtiveart

My denim cat with needle felted detail is finished. She needs a name. .. #handstitcheddoll #slowstitching #catdoll #recycledfabric #denimdoll #textileart #folkart

An abstract doll.. One of my old dolls with a clay head broke while I was moving last year. The head came loose but the body was still intact. I decided to replace the head with a needle felted one. This new head looks like thermal imaging and some kind of fruit.
