Shakespearean Portrait

Our first Make-up and Costume brief of the university semester was to find a Shakespearean Portrait and re-create it. I chose a miniature of Lady Jane Grey to reproduce.

Original:

 My image:
When the original photo was taken I was not particularly pleased with how it came out as the lighting was completely different to the original portrait.  Once I managed to get hold of the images, I played about with the lighting on the image in Photoshop and managed to make it look a lot more like the original.  I'm very please with how it came out this time and I feel that it looks much better than the photo taken on the day.

FMP

I haven't been on here in a while because I've been working hard on my Final Major Project.

For this I decided to recreate the costumes for 2 characters from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. I wanted to go back to basics and read from the original book, rather than from the many adaptions that there have been.

I created for Alice and the Mad Hatter.

Catch up

Right, so back in December I promised you better photos for the Miss Worcester costume and I finally have them.

Tarot

Recently i have been working on our tarot project, we had to pick a tarot card and turn that into a costume using different ageing and distressing techniques. I had the tower costume.

The Witches

This week we have been working hard at the Malvern Festival Theatre doing the costumes and Make-up for their productions of 'The Witches'.

In the run up to Christmas we were busy working towards finishing the costumes and make-up designs.
