Marie Antoinette collage swap mood board

Button designed by Gabriela Delworth

Welcome at the mood board party hosted by the lovely and talented Gabriela Delworth. I'll show you my mood board as it is this very moment.

The last minute I decided to join the Marie Antoinette collage swap hosted by Maria from the Junkk drawer. My partner is Heli from Finland. Heli, if you want the collage board to be a complete surprise, please leave this blog now, but you can stay if you like to see a sneak peek.

As you could know by now I don't have a real mood board I use my dress form LiLi M. as one.

Welkom op de blogparty georganiseerd door Gabriela Delworth met als thema het moodboard. Zoals jullie weten is mijn gepimpte paspop LiL M. mijn prikbord: Hier staat ze aangekleed mij te inspireren voor de Marie Antoinette collage swap, georganiseerd door Maria van de Junkk drawer.

Here she is totally dressed up for the Marie Antoinette collage swap.

This is how I work:


I choose a color first: in this case duck egg/light blue/creams.
Of course the movie Marie Antoinette by Sophia Coppola has been a great inspiration to me (and I bet I'm not the only one who has been inspired by that movie).



I use pictures of themes, some will be used 'as is' in the collage, as the crowns, or the playing cards, referring to the gambling at the court. Others like the cupcake image and the shoes are just reminders of a theme I might use.



Of course you see what kind of materials I will be using: lots and lots of (vintage) wallpapers, and vintage lace and ribbons, vintage scraps, rhinestones...



a page of my Larousse de Poche, a French dictionary, of course with Marie Antoinette.
Somehow there will be a key and/or a keyhole involved probably referring to 'le petit Trianon'. Perhaps a page with sheet music and of course a piano playing (or is it harpsichord or another fancy instrument?) Marie Antoinette. Something elaborate hairdo too?
And besides faux diamonds there will be (faux) pearls as well:



With a mood board like this the making of the collage is a piece of cake.
Here a sneak peek of one of the 12 squares. You see the shoe, the pearls, the blues.
I am too busy at this moment but I guess the collage board (already done!) and some little treasures will travel to Finland next Monday.

Thanks for visiting, have fun at all other participants blogs check here at Gabriela Delworths!
Enjoy!

Achtereen volgens kun je goed zien welke kleuren en materialen ik gebruik en uit welke thema's ik kon kiezen. Zoals altijd heb ik inspiratie genoeg voor een collage ter grootte van een voetbalveld, maar ik heb maar 12 kleine vierkantjes de ruimte. Op de laatste foto zie je één vierkantje van de collage, die al af is en maandag (druk, druk, druk) aan zijn reis naar Finland gaat beginnen.
Bedankt voor je bezoek en vergeet niet bij Gabriela te kijken wie er nog meer meedoen aan deze blogparty.
