We're all mad here!
I am beginning to feel a little like the mad hatter, my studio is in chaos again. sigh! I just can't seem to keep it clean . I like having everything within arms reach when I am working especially when I am starting to assemble pieces that require bits of lace, ribbon, crepe paper. The next thing I know I am drowning in STUFF!!
Is it really any wonder my husband stands in the doorway to talk to me rather than coming all the way in? He's probably afraid he'll be covered in the bits and pieces of debris that cling to every surface of my room at the moment........ on the up side, he leaves me alone to create and forges for he's own lunch.
I just finished 2 new pieces that are a bit different for me . I purchased a pattern from Rebekah Holloway a couple of years ago and would pull it out on occasion a place it in the I really want to make that pile, then when I clean my studio it ends up back in the pattern cabinet. I finally pushed myself to make it and I love this pattern! It was a combination of soft sculpted body with a clay sculpted head and shoulders. I gave them a whimsical twist and ended up with 2 music box art dolls. Glory is a patriotic piece that stands on a drum box music box was added and play America the Beautiful. Glory's pants and umbrella are navy blue with white stars, her coat is warm and natural with tiny red pom pom accents. The brim of her hat and her collar are red crepe paper that has been fringed. Her tutu is layered gathers of red tulle for that foo foo look. She carries a cone filled with moss and paper flowers. Overall height is around 11 inches .
The one is called Live Joyfully, she wears all warm & natural with deep pink accents, her layered gather tulle skirts are the same warm pink as are her collar and hat trim. This piece is larger than Glory by about 2 inches. Live stands on her toes , she carries a matching pink umbrella in one hand, and a mask cover in ultra fine silver glass glitter in the other.
The box she stands on is wood covered completely in warm and natural fabric, with vintage faux velvet ribbon and antique lace . The banner is made of crepe paper trimmed in silver glitter and the phrase Live Joyfully. Her music box plays Edelweiss. Measures 13".tall.
I will be listing these pieces to night on Ebay. That's all for now, thank you for peeking in ! ~Susan~

Alice figures just listed.
The four completed figures are now up for adoption on Ebay. I have posted new pics of the completed pieces. The Three figures are mounted securely to a vintage child's block with 4 four vintage pictures of Alice scenes one on each side of the block .
Flutter has a combination of vintage laces and ribbons with layers of tulle. Her hands and Polk a dots have been dusted with extra fine glass glitter. After all butterflies have to have lots of color especially if they live in Wonderland! Alice wears layers of gathered tulle and tied with a vintage velvet ribbon and if you look on her wrist she wears a tiny key. ..... I wonder what it opens?
the Queen of hearts is wearing a gathered skirt of crimson wired ribbon to achieve that royal ruffle. Her ornate crown is dusted with ultra fine ruby red glass glitter and faux crystal. She carries her baby flamingo with her everywhere.
The last piece is the Mad Hatters Teapot which features the White Rabbit watching over the door on the front of the teapot. I was asked if it is a actual working teapot. The answer is no this a a sculptural art piece for display only. But I am happy to know it looks real!
Well off to make dinner ! Thanks for stopping by...~Susan~

Sneak Peek
Finally I have a peek for you of the things I have been working on for Aha's Alice In Wonderland Challenge. In the back is what I think the toddler Queen of Hearts might have looked like. Dress in her Red and black outfit complete with Crown! Next is a magical teapot with a door that might just lead somewhere in Wonderland but you would have to use a drink me potion to get through. Flutter is a magical butterfly from the looking glass world. Finally Alice, dressed in frilly tulle with blue satin ribbons. She wears a bracelet with a key on it . I wonder what it opens?
I hope to add the mad hatter, the Caterpillar and the Tweedle bros. rabbit and the cat! We'll see how it goes.. But for now these little cuties are just waiting bases and few props. That's all for now! Thank you for stopping by!
