Last weekend, Mum and I went to see
Alice (in Wonderland) the ballet. It was extraordinary. They did minimalist sets and focused instead on the dancing and the lighting. It was gorgeous. In honor of that event and the amazing way the dancers interpreted the story, I decided I should share some of the things I've made recently that are Alice inspired.
I made these a few weeks ago while working on many projects that are gifts. This would be why I haven't made many entries lately. I have been busy with work and class, but the project I have worked on in the crafting arena haven't been gifted yet. Soon...
But back to Alice things. I had found a photo of a tattoo and knew I wanted to put it on the side of a mug. Lo and behold, I found a wonderful purple mug for it. :) I also found a tea bag/ spoon rest and decided I needed that as well.
I'd also come across a little individual tea pot, which I'd been looking for after having a pre-graduation tea party for my BFF's sister last year. I can't tell you how thrilled I was to find it. But I waffled on what to draw on the lovely chartreuse canvas of porcelain. But the other day I was browsing Etsy and came across this set of headphones with an Alice design painted on them (see treasury below). I drew inspiration from them and painted it today. Tomorrow I'll fire it. :D
And who knows, after the firing is done, perhaps I shall have a spot of tea. I did recently order some loose leaf tea from ThinkGeek.com and they look highly entertaining.
Timmy's Tea Sampler and
Monkey Picked Tea, I am looking forward to the tea time adventure!
I've been continuing my reading list for the year, and I am actually currently in the midst of an Alice inspired adventure.
Hatter by Daniel Coleman (he also wrote one called
Jabberwocky). I'm really enjoying it. The Mat Hatter and the Cheshire Cat are two of my favorite characters in the stories. I just love that madness. XD
As always I find myself on Etsy when the crafting bug hits or something sparks my interest. That being the case, I made an Alice inspired treasury:
