In addition to my knitting and design swatches, sketches, and written notes, I have an architectural drafting table with paper, pencils, and some extra fiber. I am slowly developing mixed media techniques to express myself. Drafting table with gray and white opaque paper, various pencils, trace paper, a utility knife, and gray wool fiber. Shana S.

A 'knit drawing', if you will. I created this 'architectural drawing' out of yarn / knitting rather than graphite or in. I knit the 'paper' and built on top of it. The 'paper' size is similar to a sheet of Arches, my favorite for actual drawings. It's a basic section of a house, filled with architectural lines, including a 'highlighter' line, all covered with a 'veil' of something else... something both trying to suppress and allowing some to escape. The lineweights are thick and thicker-- the essence of true shanalines-- with 2 sneaky thin ones. Eponymous, 2019. Shana S. Cohen, all rights reserved. So it's me, sort of, as the architect slash knitter. The technical slash free form creative expressionist. Enjoy, or just scratch your head. It's all good.
