This is a piece that transformed from many different types of media. I started with heavy pastel work on pastel paper but I did not like the heaviness of it. I then discovered frosted mylar and pencil crayon/ink to have a nice light and airy feel, which is more what I was going for. I worked on this piece for a few months editing and changing the flow of it until I came to a pleasant finish.
These are pieces of memories that I have from my mother and her sewing room. As a child growing up my mother was always doing something whether it be a Christmas craft fair, a wedding arrangement or barbie clothes it seemed that anything was possible in this room with all the notions and fabric. I am very grateful for her creative mind and inspiring me to be imaginative.
This was for a 4th year drawing studio at NSCAD called "Drawing the Imagined Real" with Steve Higgins. It was a great experience. This was also the piece I chose for the 2010 Graduation book and the NSCAD school magazine "Free Coffee".

| These are some of the starting points with pastel. I was drawing literal things that I was trying to combine together. |

| Starting to edit and add more. Getting a better feel of the space and the movement of the flow of the drawing. |
 |
| This is the studio space where I worked for 3+ months with Heather, Beckie, Margarita and Ben. |
 |
| Many ideas later were eliminated as the materials and mediums changed. |
 |
I introduced thread as way to combine the smaller components and then later took some of it out again.
