Please be sure to scroll all the way down to see the very very mad and cunning little pendant that you can WIN by leaving me a comment on this post! And be sure to visit the 'A Fanciful Twist' blog to visit the amazing array of participants in this, the maddest of tea parties ever...!
Was little Alice dreaming, or was that a White Rabbit she saw, sporting a waistcoat and a pocketwatch! Down a rabbit hole it went...
("Ready to Follow" - 8"x10" acrylic paints with circa 1890's antique music sheet on canvas board - RESERVED)
"In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again."
("Alice Where Art Thou" - 9"x12" acrylic paints on circa 1913 antique music sheet and canvas board - RESERVED)
..."Down, down, down. Would the fall never come to an end!"..."'Well' thought Alice to herself, 'after such a fall as this, I shall think of nothing of tumbling downstairs!'"
("Falling Down the Rabbit Hole" - 5"x7" acrylic paints on canvas board - for sale here.)
With a bit of a detour at the White Rabbit's house, she's off to explore this magical Wonderland...
("A Bit Too Large" - 8"x10" acrylic paints on canvas board - for sale here.)
How strange this place is, to be sure! Perhaps a rest before seeing which side of this mushroom will make her large, and which will make her even smaller...
("Which Side to Eat" - 8"x10" acrylic paints on circa 1890's antique music paper and canvas board - for sale here.)
But what is that emerging from the garden? A large top hat, in the most alarming shade of green! She must get to the clearing to see who belongs to that ridiculous hat...
("We're All a Bit Mad" - 5"x7" acrylic paints on gallery-wrapped canvas - for sale here.)
But what should our Alice find when coming upon the clearing? A fabulously mad tea party, and with more than enough room for her!
And such a table it is! There is almost enough here to make up for the madness of the host - almost...
Such loveliness as she's never seen!
Surely chilled watermelon is just the thing on such a warm summer's day. And the scent of lavendar is enough to bring a bit of peace to such madness as this!
Such delectable treats were there! Enough to tempt even the fussiest child. Banana bread still warm from the oven, beautifully blue-sugared vanilla biscuits, and - of all things! - pink champagne truffles!
Surely there's enough tea for all! I think I'll take a nibble of those lovely tea-sandwiches, as well. And a bite of fresh fruit is just the thing to finish it off.
But would she ever find that White Rabbit?
Time to leave the tea party and continue her search! Off into the garden she scampers...
("Alice in the Garden" - 9"x12" acrylic paints on gallery-wrapped canvas - RESERVED)
...Only to find the most wonderful display of pendants! Oh! That she could own one to adorn herself, she would be the happiest creature on earth!
(hand-painted pendants on polymer clay and wood, for sale in my Etsy shop here.)
But what's this??? The Mad Hatter is feeling particularly kind today it seems, and is offering up this cunning little pendant for you, my sweet guests! Yes, leave me a comment on this post, and you could WIN this sweet hand-painted pendant!
(acrylics on wooden pendant)
You have until Saturday July 3rd at midnight EST for your chance to win! Please don't forget to visit the other amazing participants, and thank you so very very much for your lovely visit!
