Mad Tea Party 2020

Revisiting a drawing from 2018,

Johnny Depp's portrayal of the

Mad Hatter...

I've always wanted to have a Mad Tea Party!

With mismatched cups, tea, cakes and cookies.

And maybe some art projects too.

My drawing after Sir John Tenniel's

original illustration of the Mad Hatter.

Perhaps we should just not invite the

Queen of Hearts. She seems a bit

temperamental...

Hopefully we can avoid any swimming 

incidents,

and the wild  mushrooms will be tasty,

but not hallucinogenic in any way.

We can finish off with some tarts!

Would you like strawberry or cherry?

And of course, there must be tea!

Linking up with 'Tea for Tuesday'

blog party over at Altered Book Lover.

Stop by for a chat.

Pandemic Pages and Projects

The Hobonichi Challenge for April is

an Alice in Wonderland theme. Above,

white roses painted red, and the White Rabbit.

Some mail art postcards

and a bunny for Easter on an envelope.

A very three dimensional Easter card, hand

delivered to the In-Laws.  Haven't been to visit 

my own parents yet as they are isolating.  Hoping

the weather will warm up soon so we can go

over and sit in lawn chairs in the yard to

visit with them!

There are so many cute memes on the 

internet, and I just have to steal one

sometimes. 'Steal like an artist' as they say.

Sketched daffodils from my yard for a

card to send.

I really adore the original illustrations for Alice 

in Wonderland done by Sir John Tenniel.  But 

of course Disney's versions are pretty amazing too!

Did you spot the coffee cups that I include on my

pages?  They are my contribution to 'T for Tuesday'

over at Altered Book Lover's blog. It's always 

nice to share tea, coffee, and some conversation

with good friends!

Above, a few text pages that I've watercolored and

drawn on.  I will probably tear them up and

use for collage.  What creative projects 

have you been working on?
