Channeling: a new series

channeling

11 Sep

One of my goals for this blog was to start making more collages and moodboards.  I think it’s a great exercise and a way to find inspiration, but I’ve always felt like the possibilities were so endless that I didn’t even know where to start!  I decided to make a series of moodboards inspired by fictional characters.  And who better to be my first feature than my favorite Disney princess?

Belle has an understated rustic elegance going for her.  She’s not afraid to do her own thing and she doesn’t care too much about what other people think.  And while she appreciates more than the Provincial life, she’s not about to abandon it entirely, either.

So here’s the question: what characters do you think I should feature in this series?  I was tempted to narrow it to Disney female characters, but I decided to keep it at just fictional so that I have some more wiggle room.  But I gotta warn you- this series has a lot of Disney in it’s future.  Just sayin’.

    I love this new series! The moodboard is great, totally how I picture a modern-day Belle would be. Toy Story could be fun to feature, but I’m always a sucker for a Disney princess!

    This is an AWESOME idea! I’m excited to see who else you’ve got lined up! I think Titania from ‘A Midsummer Nights Dream’ would be a really fun one to play with – gotta love fairies!

    I love this! What a great idea. There are so many great literary characters you could do, too — Jane Austen characters, mythological figures, etc. I’m excited to see where you go with this!

    Oh my gosh, best post to wake up to. Bring on the Disney nostalgia, I say! Aladdin was always one of my favourites – would love to see an interpretation of him. :)
