I moved to Vancouver at the end of April, 2014. It was a trial of many things, and I am glad to say that since the move I've gotten a job, explored a lot of the city, and done quite a few beach runs. The studio which is downstairs by the entry way, was formally known as the fourth bedroom.
I've acquired a few things that are related to my art practice, notably:
-a second mannequin
-a small sleeve ironing device
-hand held steamer
-large steamer on wheels
-various boxes/containers for storage of fabrics/supplies
-small space heater for working in the colder months
And one thing that was not related, a piano.
This piano was moved into the studio as the stairs to the upper levels of the apartment are too weak on the outside and too narrow on the inside. The entry way itself is small and angled, and while it could work, the household as a collective agreed it would be too much of a narrow space after having it there. It has a few broken hammers that need to be repaired, needs a tuning at some point, and has a few chipped ivory keys, but it is lovely all the same.
My studio space is now divided but infinitely enriched.
Currently, I have been making harem pant patterns, repairing everyday clothes, making a cosplay (Judal, from the anime Magi), and creating some curtains. And now, I have to get back to all that before I lose the interest to do so!
