Saturday 4 July 2015


Today we are celebrating the 150th Anniversary of the publication of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland) which was written by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll.   
Why July 4th? Well it is thought that the original idea for the book was a story that Dodgson told to the daughters of his friend Henry Liddell on July 4th 1862 during a boat trip along the river Isis.  
So what better way to celebrate the anniversary than to share lots of creative projects inspired by this wonderful story.

Not only will you see lots of amazing artwork today, but you can also win prizes from the following amazing companies;







Prize winners will be selected from Random blogs throughout the hop using Random.org to select each winner.  In order to be eligible for a prize you must visit all stops on the hop and leave a comment. The prize draws will be open until July 18th, with winners announced on July 20th.

Never having read the book or seen the films I had to do a little investigation before I began.
Here's my Alice in Wonderland inspired projects;
This is my version of a film poster.  The main image is from Teri Sherman over at Delicious Doodles, and the small Cheshire cat in top hat is from The Stamping Boutique.  



The playing card below is my take on an original piece of work done by the artist Ashley Benson for an online tutorial - creating a Queen of Hearts Playing Card posted on Jan 17th 2013.  It is a work along tutorial and this is the piece I created (on July 3rd 2015) from Ashley's initial sketch.
a couple of other playing cards I coloured up, along with a tag and topper piece.


I hope you like them, and thank every artist for their creations which helped me to take part in this blog hop.
Lorraine.
