Final Photographs

Please note that in my studio re-shoot (below)I changed lip colour and lower eye liner to pale orange/peach to make this look more natural rather than gothic:

These some of the photographs from the Photo shoot I did at home:

(I'm glad I got to re-shoot it!):

My Process

My initial Design Sketches:

Face Chart for my Design:

Neck Design Process:

1. Modrock mould on my neck

2. Paper Maché

3. Paint Black (Acrylic)

Wire and sponge to make "sausage" or "rat" to hold my hair in style:

 Creating Hair Pins to match with peacock feather on my neck ruff:

Neck piece I painted with green metallic shimmer on top of black:

 Pieces of jewellery, peacock feather and hot glue gun to complete the design :

This is how it worked out:

 Trying out my whole styling with make up:

I painted false lashes with white nail varnish. I feel that it did not work very well, as lashes became stiff and difficult to manage. They kept on falling off my eye lids:

  This is my final practice look:

My Mood Board

Jubilee (1977)

I came across this piece whilst browsing through YouTube. In this movies Intro by the famous gem of 70-80s Derek Jarman. The story line of it is based on end of 70s and Punk movement in England; As if he was back in time to show Queen Elizabeth what is happening in England, and where life in England is going to.. Interesting movie.
Back to styling.
Looking at Queen Elizabeth style here, they portrayed her all frilly an fluffy.  This look makes her look quite pompous and over the top, yet very authentic. On her wonderful attire, which covers her body entirely, I believe, you can find every possible symbol which represents love to England. Her hairstyle however, I find quite different to Elizabethan era; it has been styled down yet still you can observe small curls all around her head.


Elizabethan Time Dress Style:

Second Elizabethan Era

Major events in Great Britain within just 16 months:

The Royal Wedding 29 April 2011 - Catherine and William

The Queen's Diamond Jubilee - 5 June 2012 - 60 years on the throne

Her Majesty the Queen - Head of State and Head of the Nation

Spectacular and glorious London Olympics July - August 2012

The conclusion is that we are in New Elizabethan Era - romance, national identity and unity, achievements and excellence.
