Revisiting Wonderland

We made a little Alice in Wonderland dolly this week.
The Cheshire Cat keeps her company.
She's just a little bitty thing,
but she sure can get herself into some mischief.
Alice, like Little Red Riding Hood,
is a friend I find myself visiting over and over.
So I thought I'd share some of her incarnations over the past few years.
.
As a child, books were my friends and my saving grace.
I'm forever grateful to the storytellers among us.

  1. I really got into Alice too... back in my youngster 'Hippie' days..hehe.
    "FEED YOUR HEAD..."

    I do so love your interpretations of her. So incredibly imaginitive!

    Ever think about doing any J.R.R.Tolkein characters? I would LOVE to see what you can do with them.

    Blessings,
    Penny

  2. Love all your different versions.
    I hope someday that I can come up with something to create that is my own style, still working on it.

  3. Jo,
    I love seeing all the variations of Alice. Each is different but yet all have that certain unique Alice face that is most definitely Cart Before the Horse:) Awesome.

  8. These are all absolutely wonderful.

    I really appreciate those last two lines. I am a book freak, especially of childrens' books.

    As far as storytellers go, we should revere the ones we know and cultivate the next generation.

  12. These are so fun. Thanks for sharing. Books were also real friends to me along with the characters and Alice features prominently among them all. I think the Cheshire Cat is why I love felines so much.
    What a wonderful history here, Jo!
    Have a great week from
    Candace in Athens.

  13. I love how eveything that can be identified has it's own culture: what makes Alice Alice? the colour blue? what shades of blue? what length of hair?... I love how you make a symphony of all the possibilities. wonderful!
