Blogtoberfest - Sweet Marie....

so i finally got to see the movie last week, its only been like close to 2 years that everyone was going on and on about it....
what can I say, it was pure eye candy!! im going to have to watch it again just to absorb all that beauty!
my favourite scene was the above - what a backdrop!! that wallpaper is stunning! can you imagine the task ahead for the props team working for Ms Coppola....amazing visual artists! they turned the old into new!
I made a flickr mosaic since I was so inspired by the colours and textures....
I wanted to watch the movie to get inspired for a collage book swap but I ended up finishing my 'Sweet Marie' collage before I even saw the film - i dont think i would have added polka dots...not a very french revolution look...
the collage is tiny, 2.75inches x 3 inches - I was worried that once I made the 28 copies for the swap, I would lose her clear blue eyes but they turned out okay....

  9. It is one of my favourite new movies. I couldn't wait to visit Versailles last year after I saw it. I remember specifically looking for the "floral room" you described and I found it but it was closed off to the public. I did manage to take a few photo's from the roped doorway. It truly is spectacular.

    p.s Your mosaic is GORGEOUS!

    I love your photo montage. The colours are so Paris. It reminds me of this patisserie in Paris that had piles of coloured macaroons in the window.

  15. I know exactly what you mean about that movie. The colours are a real stand out in my recollection of it. And the scene of the cupcakes, and the chuck taylor gym boots! It was great!

    Your collages are SO beautiful! Those swap partners will be thrilled!
