Alice in Wonderland

One of my favorite books is "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" illustrated by Anne Bachelier.
Her art work inspires me and so I decided to do Alice with the colors she used in her illustrations.
There is a wonderful lady from Melbourne who hand dyes beautiful fabrics, ribbons and lace and
has a shop Raes Rags on Etsy.  I had her dye some mommie pure silk for my Alice.  These are the
colors that Anne Bashelier loves to use in her illustrations.
Picture of the front of the book along with fabric samples
Picture I am looking at for my new piece.
Her fancy shoes.. The base is made of pieces of wood from a puzzle.

The mushrooms are drying. I sculpted them from paper clay and have to paint them and
of course add that wonderful caterpillar
