Inspiration

As well as contemporary hair I have also been studying the hair styles that were seen within Elizabethan portraiture, this has helped me to keep my ideas Elizabethan based without straying into unrecognisable contemporary designs. I particually like this painting of Anne Boleyn in which she is wearing a French Hood. I like the idea of adding an accessory into the hair within my design, and this French Hood has acted as inspiration.
