Materials for Miss Havisham & The silhouette

This weekend i was at home i began to pick up materials i found around the house and photographed them against a blue tone wall a similar colour to the tones i want to use within the base face colour for Miss Havisham. I had previously talk about creating silhouettes with plant materials to create a leaf like structure as i though about the time period it is likely that miss Havisham had flowers rather than leafs in her hair for the wedding day so i began finding flower materials- stems and leafs from flowers photographing them. 
The first two images are my favourite i love the atmosphere of the image the plant creating a web in the composition of the photo while the flowers are blurred out in the foreground. I love this plant as although the small flowers are delicate the stems are the main focus branching of into many different directions i feel this would look very effective in silhouette and also for my Miss Havisham character possibly spray painting them (ideally fake ones) a brown tone as though they have disintegrated and are dying within the hair. 
Similarly to the stem webbing effect of the first two images the last two also have this element also i love the shadow the sticks created in the image and in silhouette this could look very effective creating a stronger silhouette than the soft plant although in my Characterisation of Miss havisham i don't think she would have had sticks within  her hair possibly on stems from were flowers once were and this could be a good representation of that. 
The middle two image i took for reference of dyeing flowers something i would also like to incorporate as i feel this is an element Miss havisham would have had within her inital wedding hair style, possibly painting fake flowers for continuity of my character?

I experimented on my mum's hair what effect this would have although the images you can't tell particularly the effect in silhouette you can get a feel to how they would look. Although with in my research images above i loved the effect of the small plant i feel that its not as effective within the hair (top left image) this could possibly be because i would need more flowers and also the positioning of the flowers would need adjusting to work with my design rather than placed ontop. 
I love the effect of the sticks within the hair for silhouette although I'm not sure how they would hold but the shape that they create i feel is very effective.  

I further took an experimental image of the veil i feel this is an element i would love to use within my final silhouette images and my Miss havisham characterisation i would like to experiment more with the webbed effect in the veil and ripping. I also would like to experiment with placing of the veil i imagine that it would only cover a little of the face and hair possibly placed at the back central point of the head as not to take away from the strong structure of the roles.
