After a couple of weeks of traveling, not to mention celebrating my older sister’s engagement, it’s back to work. And while Titania is still undergoing construction, I’m presenting the mood board for my next fabulous fairy; Tooth.
The Tooth Fairy-probably the one sprite we’ve connected with the most as kids and are therefor the most connected to. Yet despite all the publicity she receives, it’s funny that there’s no corporate set image of her! In Dreamworks’s Rise of the Guardians, she’s a militant humanoid hummingbird, but in Hellboy 2: the Golden Army, tooth fairies are savage flying piranhas who devour bones (always going for the teeth, the most visible bones, earning them the title ‘Tooth Fairy’.) Either way, the tooth fairy remains illusive visually.
Not to mention that despite the hype she causes, there’s one thing that’s never answered; what DOES she collect the teeth for? Some kids believe she uses the teeth as construction materials for her Tooth Castle. Personally I prefer the answer in a children’s book my little sister used to read, explaining that actually the teeth are processed and used as pixie dust.
Either way, with a clean slate to worth with, I’ve decided to go with a more grotesque vision of the Tooth Fairy, centered on her obsession with bone marrow.
Ever since seeing the Oscars footage, I have been in love with the Dior gown worn by Jennifer Lawrence! I mean, if there was a more exquisite dress to fall in, that was it-she floated on the steps in it, and despite her embarrassment I felt that moment on the steps was stunning! Seriously, Jen-that was the ‘Grace Kelley’ of falls, you looked amazing. That profile is what I want to work on as a base.
