The Tempest: Ariel

I think I’m done with this. 

This is my interpretation of the character Ariel from the Shakespeare play The Tempest. 

I was inspired by the super old silent film version, where ariel is played by a little girl. I like that idea because it keeps at least one character untouched and innocent if she is a child. I also really enjoy when little girls are put in powerful roles, because it’s unexpected and sometimes scary. 

The theme for her costume is a mossy swamp vibe. Ariel was imprisoned in side of a clove pine so I thought woodsy/forest related items were appropriate to dress her in. 

also sparkles because she is a spirit after all.
