Hair charts 3 and 4
This hair chart was inspired by the personality of both Lettice knollys and the housewives of orange country, I wanted to create something big and bold to represent the large and colourful personalities of these people. I have included a jewel on her forehead hanging from her hair to link with the Elizabethan era, I have also kept to the love heart shape. I like this idea and will practice this on my Kate doll to find the best way to achieve the big curls.
This is one of my hair chart design I have practiced on my Kate doll, I found this design wasn't challenging enough. I chose to include an elephant into the design for decoration because of the symbolism. In western cultures an elephant symbolises; reliability, power, dignity, royalty and pride. On researching this I found this information very fitting to the project as many of the royalties in the Elizabethan era, especially Elizabeth, wore many jewels and objects, including of animals to symbolise their royalty, wealth and power.
This hair chart was inspired by the avant garde look, I wanted this to be wispy and free, bouncy and but softer than my 3rd hair chart. I will achieve this look by using a prop underneath the middle of the two top sections, I will then curl and crimp parts of the hair to create a large textured layer to cover the props. To make this a more contemporary design I have created a smooth and soft design that covers part of the face, I will also make a fish tail plait at the back of the hair. I have invested in a small crown to go into my design at an angle, this will symbolise royalty and the Elizabethan theme.
This is the practice for my final design, I have chosen this because it is the biggest out of the four and shows the most techniques I have been learning; padding, plaiting, backcombing and curling. This is by far my favourite design and suits the model I have chose as her hair is very long, also thin, which works well with piling it o top of her head as it won't be too heavy or uncomfortable.
