I hope everyone who celebrated had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends! With my extended family, we'll be continuing the celebrations tomorrow. Yesterday, I did some inkblot art in a small sketchbook, leading to this image of two blue-haired bridesmaids.
Perhaps they're the same blue-haired sisters that appeared in an inkblot last year! :-)

Today, I was doodling owls in my sketchbook and had the idea to do an owl perched on a woman's head. I'm calling it Sophia. In Greece, owls represent wisdom and seeing little owls in my head while breathing through labor is partly why I chose Sophia (meaning wisdom) as Annabelle's middle name. I wasn't thinking of my daughter with this image though, it was more of an outward representation of the brain.
Wow, Love hte inkblot girls and the wise looking girl in the bottom. Great work.
I really like the owl and girl – lovely lines!
Love your inkblot girls and owl!
Wow love where serendipity led you, awesome results!!!
Hmmmmm, love the reasoning………A will be wise….like her mom
Owls seem to be a very popular subject these days along with the peacock. Has anyone noticed this? Very cute, Leah.
Sweet, those girls have their heads in the clouds for sure!

Delightful creation ~ love the inkblot effect ~ Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving ~ thanks for hosting (A Creative Harbor) ^_^
I don’t know what it is about birds and heads, but I am so drawn to them – and your picture – and sculptures of same. All of my big garden sculptures have a bird somewhere. What *is* that? I have to wonder what it arouses in the subconscious! As always your inkblots are magical – what an imagination! thank you!
Hello Leah, the owl and girl is such a simple but striking creation, it’s great in black and white like that, owls are such deep and symbolic creatures, I love this piece!
