Self portrait 2 - next development ...

Following the computer designs from earlier (& inspired by subsequent stitching), here's the next colourful computer-generated "self-portrait". Although graphically representational, it is appearing (in my mind's eye) in a stitching format. So where to go next?

Moving head & reflections ...

A visit to here yesterday inspired thoughts of the 2 ideas (heads & reflections) from several years ago - both of which I hope to resurrect in some way. 

A face amongst the trees ...

Another pic from last year that inspires something, is this tree with its facial marks. It also reminds me that:

Eyes are gateways to your soul

Tree face ...

Some time ago I started a notebook of 'Faces' - unusual shapes suitable for making masks &/or facial expressions. I've also made a few textile faces ... using some form of embroidery. It looks as if the 'bug' is at work again as look what I found amongst an apple tree in the garden ...

Tree ' OWL ' face !

Here it is from another angle ...

Now a CAMEL !

Mask or Mandala ...

Design for pamphlet holder

Looking for the original of this but can't seem to find it anywhere - hopefully it's in a safe place! Think it could become the basis for the Mandala or Mask project(s) that keeps popping into my thoughts.

Also found another (click here for it's shot) - it's the inside of a chip fryer whilst cleaning out with washing-up liquid. The mixture of oil & water-based cleaner produced this amazing image of a face/silhouette. Once again, thoughts stray to the above mentioned possible project.
