'Wild' Elizabethan .
This is the image that i created to have an Elizabethan feel. Where the hairstyle i choose for the word 'Wild' had quite a lot of shape i didn't think it would look right adding the typical Elizabethan curls to my picture even though my quote had 'curled and frizzled.' So i took elements of the look and words from my quote and created something more structured. I focused on 'trinkets, crested gold and silver.' I added red and orange stripes through sections of the hair to give a more Elizabethan feel. I thought it would be more quirky and contemporary, than to do it all red or orange. I then added beads along the top in a straight row to in keep with the straight look i was going for, as Queen Elizabeth always had loads of jewels and trinkets going though her hair. Finally added a gold and black piece of material under the row to run across like a head band. I think all these subtle hints give it a Elizabethan feel and its not too overpowering with the style i already had. If i had a more messy look it would have added more curls with different colours of hair etc but i feel this still in keeps with my original 'Wild' image.
