I had one of those wonderful happy little accidents with Olive... I ripped the bottom of her dress and was about to throw it out and do another one when I thought maybe I should just sew it together (Olive would like that and it is something she would do). So then it got me thinking about stitches and sewing parts together. This is something I used to do years ago when I painted houses and stitched the silk tissue around the edges of the painting. I actually won a Norsewood Art Award for a piece of work that had a whole lot of little squares threaded together.
I am not sure whether this piece is finished yet or not and I am not really happy with her tool belt, so I am going to sit with her for a while and see if anything more comes.
In the mean time I had another idea for Olive, completely different to the above picture and my original idea of who Olive is... I guess it wont hurt to try.

This is stunning - good accident.
It is interesting you saying "I will sit with her and see what comes"
This is a real good strategy, because sometimes an idea is still on its way to you and you may be to busy to receive it, so waiting till the moment is right then when it does, you know exactly what to do with Olive.

A happy accident indeed :)
