The Disney version is not really anything like the Brother's Grimm tale; although they both have almost the same highlights.
Young Cinderella's mother dies, leaving the father to re-marry. Then comes in the evil step-mother and her evil daughters; who of course don't treat her as a family member but more so of a maid/servant who does all of the dirty work around the house. Then the king's invitation comes mentioning the three day dance festival in the kingdom. Cinderella isn't allowed to go, but thanks to her mother's grave with the magical tree, she receives a beautiful dress. She dances and dazzles the prince but mysteriously disappears leaving him stumped of her identity. And this continues each day of the festival. On the third day, the prince is clever enough to pull a trick causing Cinderella to leave her golden shoe behind. Giving the prince the chance to find her, which of course he does and they get married and live in the kingdom happily ever after.

My idea for this postcards project is to mainly focus on the high points of the tale, and follow the story exactly. My goal for these postcards is to relay the story chronologically, so the post cards come as a package and they work better as a series than individuals. The way I want to present the story is by focusing on the specific details that the Brother's Grimm version has, appose to the Disney version. I'm taking symbols from the story and making them main images to describe the fairy tale.
The majority of my images will be cut outs and scrap-booking materials via scanning; along with using some textures via scanning. Also, I'm toying with the idea of possibly using paint or something like that.
