I was obsessed for some days making this Alice Doll, she is about 23 inches tall and would make a lovely bed decoration. If you are interested in purchasing please email me. I am trying to clean out my fabric stash, I have about 6 more yards of the doll body fabric! I might be tempted to make a Mad Hatter next. This twill made excellent doll fabric, as it is soft yet has some structure.She is tea dyed, has lovely bloomers, and her skirt is stiffened with buckram.
I made her shoes out of felt.
Completely inspired by the Tenniel original drawings. You may find them here http://www.alice-in-wonderland.net/alice2a.html
I was read the two books illustrated with his drawings as a child.
Please do go see Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, I was overwhelmed by his vision. I love that he did not change the original books, but made a story based on the originals, for an older Alice. Fantastic work.
Now I am inspired by the Tim Burton Alice. Victorian young lady may be on the way.
