Swiss Family Robinson Costume Ideas

For the Swiss Family Robinson play, I decided to draw some of the ideas of what I thought the costumes should look like. When the family first appears, they wear very dull, tattered clothes but as they continue to live on the island they appear wearing more colorful clothes, with their accessories being made of leave, branches, etc. This is to show that they become more attached and more respectful of the island that provides so much for them.

The Ballet Dancer

Emily has always loved ballet and dancing in general. This simple painting projects a sense of movement that one gets when dancing.

A Flower of Dots

Emily has always loved drawing flowers. This flower took a particularly long time to draw but was very calming and therapeutic.

A Shape in Words

This art piece was made with watercolor paint and shaving cream. The quote is how an adventure never ends; it just has beginnings.

A Field Full of Roses

This is a watercolor that I did when designing a greeting card.

The Sisters of Wicked

A watercolor painting of Glinda and Elphaba, this painting shows that no matter how different, anyone can be friends with each other.

Sunset Clouds

This is a watercolor painting showing the clouds at sunset and what the brain might like on the inside.

A Flapper Dress from the 20s

Emily has always loved the fashions of the 1920s, when women were free to show their legs for the very first time and tossing their corset out the window, liberating themselves from the controlling times of before.

The Three Heads of Fashion

The Three Heads of Fashion is a collage that shows that anyone and everyone can love fashion and can be beautiful, inside and out.

Emily’s Fashion Book

A book of fashion sketches, Emily has always loved fashion and even hopes to have her own clothing line one day. She sometimes struggles to draw the 10 clothing as her hand often becomes tired from the unique way she holds her pencil, so she often uses words to describe her full vision of shining, fashionable clothing.

Wallpaper for a Library’s Corner

Emily designed this wallpaper with different typewriters that all have a piece of paper in them and, if you look closely, you’d even see that each piece of paper has different titles of books on them. Both appealing to the eye and to the mind!

A Hat for Spring and Summer

I found this hat just lying in the attic and decided to embellish it with a fabric flower and some antique buttons. I hope to bring hats back into style.
