KG - More Props

Today Lucy and I were talking about having her hold an umbrella throughout the field footage. I have a Chinese paper umbrella that I thought would be suitable, it is brown/beige with a tree design and when open is in the shape of a flower. The photos don't quite show how good it looks but they will do so you can both see what I mean.




Also, with regards to the chair idea, we already talked about how we couldn't find an armchair as we pictured so we thought we might improvise. Lucy has a folding camping chair that I thought we could use and embellish. We can cover it in fabrics, I have several depending on what style we want [I have fabric left over from the harlequin dress so if we wanted to match it then we could do that]. I thought then we could also get pillows on the chair and perhaps on the floor around it, oh and I thought of a new location. We already have a photo of it previously on the blog but I will put it here again.

I was thinking we could put it in the clearing and have around it the lanterns/candles, the birdcage, the clock, some other random bits of furniture like maybe a table with something on it, something random like a cup of tea? Or some books? I have several old old books that are brown with age and in the vintage sort of hardback, books from the 1800's that I think would look nice scattered around and on a table perhaps. We can be clever with the titles as well, like I have a really beautiful copy of 'Diary of a nobody' which I think will fit in if it was to be sat on a table next to her, I also have a lot of Dickens, Wuthering Heights, The Wide Wide World, The Background of Art, The complete Oscar Wilde, and so on. Just a thought.

I do also have some chinese paper lanterns, I have 2 blue ones and a white and pink one with some flowers on it. I am literally just listing anything I can think of. I might decorate the birdcage too, with ribbons, flowers or something...

  1. I also have 3 paper umbrellas with flowers on, blue, pink and yellow. These may not be as appropriate but its another option. But i agree and really like that idea. I am however not a 100% sure on the chair idea, i think maybe a block/ box might fit in better? But i do like the idea of her sitting surrounded by lanterns etc. Also i do not personally have them but my friend has a lot of old vintage looking books and toys eg little trucks and trains that im sure we could borrow.
