Lately I've taken to creating real life moodboards out of the random junk I have on this table in my room. It bums me out that today is Black Friday because I'm not ready to let go of witchy vibes for fall but my high tolerance for the cold will be taken advantage of when it's at 10 degrees and I just want to wear ghost coats all the time.
This one is supposed to be a little cosmic and explorer-y and dusty. As always, it makes sense in my head.
Clockwise from up left: Yes, Rivkah, that is your tambourine. Yoshitomo Nara doll from his cafe in Tokyo (a year ago! Life is weird). Random box which houses my glitter glue. Guatemalan worry dolls. Yes, Rivkah, those are your optical illusion cards. Special journals. Romance Was Born headband sent to me by the folks there. Visually appealing book about deserts from a house-turned-book shop in Michigan. I Love Factory headband also sent to me by the folks there. Thrifted sun brooch. Stevie Nicks' Bella Donna. Grandma's old brooch. Random rock with fortune teller ring on top. Gara Danielle ring. Christian Sampson orange thing from Two Bridges Trading. Jamaican mask. Toothfairy box from Arizona. And all that stuff is sitting on a botanical illustrations booklet. And hanging above them is my New Orleans voodoo charm and a dreamcatcher.

Like this idea! I really love looking at people's belongings. And don't worry. I totally get the look you were going for x
That is awesome. I love the headband. Too bad about the witchy vibez though. I thought that was rad.
Awesome photo! I really like the headbands :)

Seriously intrigueing, want to steal that deserts book. It kind of reminds me of indiana jones, if he married someone who owned a museum or something. In the best possible way.
cool idea, i will have to give it a go

gold dust

Cool idea!
great photo :D*
Moodboard. Hmm. Sounds fascinating. I love it, except for the little mask and the skeleton face because disembodied faces creep me out.
As coisas antigas dão sempre um ar de contar histórias:}

sometimes i wish blogger was facebook. because then i would "like" this.
stevie nicks ftw

I'm listening to Stevie Nicks Landslide right now.No joke.MAGICAL.
:-)

things like these save me from having to creepily rummage through peoples junk drawers when they aren't looking. i love looking through peoples junk.
How incredibly eclectic(:
Looks like it could be in the house of someone with a lot of folk art tiles in their kitchen and sunflowers on their counter.
these journals look way cool. as if they're full of mysterious drawings and novel fragments in mirror writing ^__^ your place seems to be a real depository. if i had to pick one item i'd take either the mask or the rock.
i also like the general idea. 3D moodboards border on installation art ^__^
and fall is officially done over here, we already have the first snow.
I LOVE YOUR BLOG!! BTW I FORGOT TO ASK YOU BUT DO U LIVE IN CHICAGO OR HAVE YOU BEEN THERE THIS SUMMER?
CUZ I WENT WITH MY FAMILY AND I THINK I SAW YOU HAHAHAH
XOXO

I love the idea !! The result is so original !
I was wondering if you had read the emails for your futur magazine.
Did you choose any yet ? :)
sorry but I'm really curious !

I have worry dolls from Guatemala too!

Gorgeous! I have little clusters like this all over the house but not laid out in an actual mood board. What a great idea. I love the optical illusion cards.
Also, I'm hosting a give away. Check it out.
really earthy and pretty. I love the idea of real life moodboards. I also love your tambourine. I had such a cute tambourine when I was a kid.

OH MY GOODNESS Arcadia! I'm from Arcadia bahahaha.
Okay I really like this color pallet. This feels like the contents of a 1920's explorer's knapsack who also owns a time machine.
That headband is gorgeous x

ADORE.
well it's all so aesthetically appealing, lovely combination and collection. I like the leafy journal and south american feel.

I love that you're still making collages, whether they're pictures or objects, they're all interesting and fun to dissect. I especially love the headband and Jamaican mask. I really enjoy your aesthetic and hope to design an outfit for you one day. :)
love it all tavi... :D nice moodboard, you have extraordianry eye for this :)

I see, it all does make sense. At least in my head too.
And why not continue the teen witchy vibes with a ice-witchy-type vibes?
Love it! This is making me want to rent Practical Magic.
Tavi this is genius.
Love the Yoshitomo Nara doll.

Really into witch vibes too this season, courtesy of the great Stevie Nicks. Digging the american deserts book and the headband on it.

i love how obsessed you are with eccentric japanese things. and is it a cafe in Nara? Cause I love it there (:
check my blog sometime:
www.stylechickie.blogspot.com
are you sure it's a jamaican mask? looks a bit more like a javanese mask to me, just my opinion though.
Nice! Tavi, you are the best!

Love all your stuff.They have a vintage touch I think,lovely.The headband is my favorite <3
http://nothinglikefashion.blogspot.com/
I'm fond of the mask - I love Pagan relics -, and the word Arcadia brings back lovely memories.
Nice collage you've made there! Beautiful

Are you sure the mask is from Jamaica? Because to me it looks like indonesian mask. Cool Headband btw ;)
Lots of love... great blog!!! please visit...
Is Preppy Hot or not?? http://hollywoodopinions.weebly.com Submit your vote on the OMG page. Thanks much.
This makes me want to do my own found object arrangement
You own a lot of strange things. It reminds me of me when I was younger. Then I moved and everything got jumbled thrown out or sold...ahhh those were the days. I remember I had quite the dreamcatcher and beanie baby collection as well as an array of glass figurines that I miss dearly.
I love the headband as well...very cute indeed!!
interesting collage))
Dear Tavi,
That mask is not from Jamaica. It's from Indonesia, Central Java to be precised. Oh, I also have the Guatemalan worry dolls and similar Arcadia truffle box which I use to keep my jewelries.
luv,
Dee
I'M FROM SPAIN, Y REALLY LIKE YOUR BLOG, I DON'T UNDERSTAND SOMETIMES, BUT I LIKE IT. wantpleasure.blogspot.com kisses

i hope witches are real, life would be so much cooler and spooky.
love everything in this, especially the guatemalen worry dolls
www.lerevedecassandre.blogspot.com
In the fine art world, what is you seem to call a "moodboard", we call an "installation" or a "staged photograph". Funny...
As always such a cool post :) I'm digging the American Deserts book and the Guatemalan worry dolls.

Nice items! You have a so sweet blog.
www.benisweetlife.blogspot.com
nice pic! :)
Cool idea. It's neat that you can actually touch the stuff instead of merely looking at it.
Yes, Rivkah, it would appear that Tavi is stealing all your stuff ;-) And this is such a nice collage! Perhaps you should try some set/stage design?
nice moodboard!
La Petite Marmoset
Somehow when I look at these objects they remind me of something a traveling gypsy and witch caravan hailing Palm Springs, CA. I mean that in the best possible way!
Inspiring! I especially like the books :)

waow. great idea :)
I used to do this all the time back in school(I was homeschooled) and it annoyed the hell out of my mom because I would leave it for like a week and after awhile it just started to look like a pile of junk , so I stopped doing it, but I think you've inspierd me to start it up again!!
I love the kinda earthy vibes from the skull on the optical illusion cards and mask. Gorgeous tambourine. The idea of another seventh grader who will do things like this makes me so happy.
I remember one time when I was a kid my dad took a trip to Oregon and brought me back a book about deserts and a post card with a roadrunner on it.
I love those journals. Beautiful covers, is the brown one made of leaves?
Also the headband with blue and white detailing is lovely. I've been looking for nice headbands for work, since I have to wear a boring head to toe black uniform, but we're allowed hair accessories and earings.
Here's my outfit of the day/happiness project vlog:

I LOVE the bangs Tavi! I cut mine that short once, only to discover that I had a heretore previously unknown cowlick right in front! I spent several months compulsively slicking it down. Ugh!
Great Post, It's the first time i see these Guatemalan worry dolls, those objects are so rare and exotic... They inspire me like thinking I am on a distant place or.... i'm still thinking about it and love it
