Hello, everyone! I'm sorry I am posting this much later in the day than usual. Everything I had planned for today took much longer than expected. I have so much to share and catch up on. Today I'd like to share a birthday party that my littler little brother (who is eleven) put together for me in collaboration with my mother for my 21st birthday back in January. I love Tangled and Repunzal is not only one of my favorite characters, but the one character that I relate to in every single way; I mean, I am convinced she must be a fellow INFP personality type. At my first singing recital last year I also did "When Will My Life Begin" for one of my songs. My brother Will knew all of this, and so while I was at school he decorated as a surprise. He made a poster with printer and construction paper and markers. He made a long yellow paper chain to represent Repunzal's hair. He also made white paper chains. He handmade a paper lanturn like those in the movie and put a flashlight-type of device inside. He handmade a maze, too. With more paper he crafted Repunzal's tower and drew details with markers. He made a paper flower on a pipe-cleaner stem stuck in clay as a decoration representative of the magic flower. He made a wanted poster photo prop for photoshoots. On a railing at the top of our staircase, visible to anyone heading towards our kitchen/living room, he taped a sign on for "The Snuggly Duckling" which he had drawn with markers. My mother bought white flowers from Ingles and star balloons from Dollar Tree. What especially stood out to me was my brother's brilliant color scheme. Rather than doing a typical purple and golden palette or something similar, he chose a very unconventional palette of yellow, orange, gold and white. Another thing that stood out is how he made the decor very modern, stylish and subtle, such as doing a flower and lanturn but never showing an actual image of Repunzal or any logos or that sort of thing. I felt so proud of him. Anyway, below are some photos of the details:
