BRAINSTORMING....again. Memories and Objects

I am hoping you are all keeping track of the ideas progression trough SKETCHBOOK otherwise yous are probably quite lost at this point.
The basic idea at this point is a woman, holder of memories. protector of memories, like the elephant made up of shapes, most of this figurine will be made of objects representing memories in Derry.

At this point if you look in the brainstorming pages of SKETCHBOOK you will see my development on the objects and memories.
I decided on big and or personal memories, even ones other could relate to, and then brainstormed objects that would successfully visually represent them.
For example the popular bus from Derry-Belfast the 212 which most of Northern Ireland have been on at one point or another, for me its my bus to and from home. I decided is a major memory of my past year in Derry, and im sure many students and others can relate. So i will visually represent it with not the bus, or an obscure bus part, or even the Translink/Ulsterbus logo, instead i have chosen the 212 numbers in a square box, ie the number you see on the buses, anyone who has been on or around the bus will instantly know what it is and what it represents, and their own memories and feelings of it will come to mind.
This is the basic process of how i made most of the objects seen in not just the final render but also the SKETCHBOOK.

From here as you can see in SKETCHBOOK, ive narrowed down objects and memories i want in the final model. And started really developing the character.
Ive started developing the dress, pose, age, shape, size, look of the character. Its a little clearer how the final model should look now i know how muh and what will build her, whilst not cluttering her or making it overbearing.
There was alot of sketched examples, and alot more reflection than sketching at this point.
I mixed and matched all the dresss, shapes and hairstles in my head a thousand times over before getting a clearer idea of how i wanted her to look.
