My memory of my grandma Doll and her house has changed a little since doing this drawing but not in a huge way. What was more interesting to me were the changes I made compositionally throughout making the piece, and why what I chose in the end worked better than what I started with. By narrowing down the items to six, It changed a little in that it made me realize some of the things that remind me most of her, and exclude the things that didn't standout as much. Throughout the planning of my drawing, the composition has changed a lot. Originally my drawing included lot more items but under time constraints I realized this would be unrealistic and also it might look cluttered and confusing to viewers.  Even after narrowing down my choices to the curling iron, (Doll always used to do my hair when I was little and I used to cry and scream) the music 'box' bear, (A gift from Doll when I was a baby that I'll probably keep for my kids) the fish figurine, (Doll has a collection of glass animals in her kitchen I used to be amazed at growing up) the nail polish, (Doll would never be caught dead without pink nail polish on) the cocktail glass, (Doll's favorite drink is a Vodka Diet Pepsi) and a high heal shoe, I noticed with the way I originally has sketched it, the shoe would be better left out to make a more balanced place for myself in the drawing. Plus, the shoe really wasn't a strong object for this memory. I also decided to add the curling iron's cord, which originally I had not included to balance out the left side. Then came the toughest part! Deciding on an interesting way to put myself into the drawing, so I wouldn't look like I just threw myself in the composition as an after-thought, or because I had to. I decide to depict myself waitressing and carrying these items on  tray. This was a connection to my memory of Doll in two ways. First, I am a waitress now, and she was a waitress in college too, and we often trade waitressing stories back and forth. The other is that the tray symbolizes how she always seems to be serving others no matter what it is she does in life. The look on my face is one of concern, wondering wether or not I too can someday live up to her beautiful life of love and service.
