queen of hearts
To recreate the Queen of Hearts by Tim Burton, Amber made this wig out of chicken wire and fake hair. Amber made the costume from scrap material, felt and lace. She also did the makeup and made all the props for this. Short story written by Amber. Modelled by Kayla




Once upon a time in a land called Underland, the bitter and cruel Red Queen spent her days chopping off heads. She appears young, maybe mid 20’s, with very pale skin, red curly hair, and a stout build. Her style is lavish and over stated; she wears a black and red dress decorated on the skirt with gold and black hearts, a gold corset bedazzled with pearls and rubies, and a large stiff white collar. She covers her eyes with blue shadow reaching all the way to her high, thin arched brows. Her lips are painted blood red in the shape of a heart. On top of her heart shaped hair she wears a small gold crown covered in rubies. When she was a teenager, she fell and hit her head leaving her with two large calcified bumps on her skull forming a heart. Like her physical appearance, her personality is hot tempered. She is paranoid and antagonistic, always thinking the worst and wanting to behead everyone who crosses her. She is mentally unstable and is always proving it. She will chop someones head off just because theyre more attractive than her! It is clear she has these issues because of her mental health and also her environment, growing up a princess she had everything handed to her and figured out for her. She’s very privileged, over, actually, and was well educated from her private tutors. She is delicate from never having to do things herself and has become abusive and easily irritable as a result.
