The Blue Brick | Inspired Yarns

I had to shoot a site from the roof of the Waterclub condos here in Toronto. Before I finished up at the end of the shoot I took this pic of the Gardiner Expressway snaking along into the sunset :)

Autumn is over and I’ve had to move on from my beloved leaf jewellery. Looking around for inspiration I gravitated towards the washi that I collect for origami and for the backdrops of my photos. The actual paper textures were so beautiful that I wanted…
