Princess Mononoke is probably my favorite movie, I first saw it years ago when I was about thirteen I think and it has stuck with me ever since, which is saying a lot because I hardly watch a movie twice. If you haven't seen it, I suggest you give it a try, it really is a great movie in my opinion. I won't tell you much, you can easily look it up online but basically a man, Ashitaka, is cursed and leaves his village to find a cure. It does have some gore so it's not really a kids movie.
Anyways, today I picked one of my favorite parts of the movie where these spirits, kodama, show Ashitaka through a forest. They are cute in the movie and kind of have a rattle bobble head and no two are the same, there's no way to mess them up! For the background I did simple tree branches covered in moss. The base is OPI Black Onyx and the rest is acrylic paint.
Have you seen Princess Mononoke? What is your favorite movie?
Don't forget to check out Carolina, Marta and Marketta to see their favorite movie!
That is so cute! I prefer Miyazaki's lighter fare (My Neighbor Totoro, Ponyo) but I remember the first time I saw Princess Mononoke and marveled at its message and its art. The kodama were my favorite part of the movie, lol. What a great mani!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen Princess Mononoke movie. But because you are really good I bet your nails are a good representation of the movie.
ReplyDeleteIts been a while since Ive seen Princess Mononoke but I really enjoyed it. Ive always liked Howl's Moving Castle and Ive been trying to find Nasuka and the Valley of the Wind. This post sure brought back a lot of memories. But my favorite movie would have to be the BirdCage :D
ReplyDeleteOMG! So amazing!!! The little forest spirits that click their heads!!!! They usually appeared when the forst was healthy, right? I really like Mononoke Hime but I have the english audio version and I would like to see the original version! But man, your manicure is so cute!!! I absolutely love it! I think this has to be one of the best manicures I've seen in my life! :)
