The Wonderland Chronicles!

Before Alice fell down the rabbit hole, chasing after the white rabbit who is actually the grandson of S. W. Rabbit, and great great grandson of Elmerious Rabbit, before the mad tea party which was retold in carroll's story, Wonderland was more then a countryside fantasy trap of riddles and rhymes, all in the hopes of Alice finding her way back home....................

Wonderland was a mysterious place, one wrapped in secrets and hidden labrinyths, good against bad, friend or enemy, what lays underneath the green hat, could be a never ending hole, a time travel back to Cheshire E. Cat's first of his 9 lives, inside his apothecary shoppe at the corner of Pigeonwood Court and Tweedle Pine Lane, inside Wonderland City.

No one knows what's lurking behind every corner, keep your magic near by for you never know when you will need it. Come with me and visit Sir Wilford Humpty's Photographie Studio and glimpse through his cabinet of cards, and read about the wonderland chronicles.

An eventful weekend in May: Earth Angel Toys, Gingerbread Castle and Workshop!
My whole month of May has been booked with events, workshops and adventures, this coming weekend I will be appearing at the Grand Opening of the AC Moore in Allentown, PA, promoting the book and doing a project demo from it, come on by May 24and visit.

This past weekend, My mom and I headed over to Charlotte's Tea Room in Warwick, NY about 45minutes from my house for the Earth Angel Toys Event hosted at the tea room by the amazing Jen O'Connor http://www.earthangelstoys.com/ http://earthangelstoys.blogspot.com/ the event was filled with the most beautiful artful eye candy I have ever seen in one place, you just wanted to buy a piece from every artist on hand. some of the artists and work on hand were: Jo Packham http://www.jopackham.com/ Letty Worley, Jody Battaglia, Dara DiMagno, Kitty Babendreier and Debbee Thibault http://www.debbeethibault.com/ everyone of the artists I met couldn't be more talented and sweet, each making you feel right at home as you viewed their works.Here is a picture of Me, Kitty and Debbee!Debbee and Me!Debbee and My Mom!Debbee's dolls have always been a fave of mine, each one telling their own story and sharing their own magic. After visiting Pleasanton, Ca, a few weeks back, I had wanted to go to American Harvest and buy one of her dolls, but didn't have the chance, then an art friend surprised me with one, just making my day. Now in Warwick, what did I forget to do?, why bring the dollie of course, LOL! Next time!Here is a photo of Jo and Me!
Not only were there loads of artwork to buy, but also books and magazines which were located at Jo Packham's Spot!http://www.jopackham.com/ Jo is the publisher/creator behind "Where Woman Create" which is available in book form and magazines, each one I recommend for an array of artful inspiration which you can bring into your own studio, home or life. I've been wanting to buy the hard cover book edition and I did, plus Jo personalize/sign it, I also picked up the book: Crowns and Tiara's by Kerri Judd and I just love it, another must have book. All I can say is that once you meet Jo, you will meet some one beyond works nice and multi-talented.Here is the Charlotte Dollie I made for her called: Queen Elizabeth Ann, these dolls are part of my handmade charlotte doll line! Stay tuned I have 83 of these to embellish, here they are sitting in my studio right now:
Another fabulous woman I met was Kitty Babendreier, she is so sweet and talented, we must have hung out the whole time I was there, chatting and sharing laughter and artful ideas. Kitty lives in NY a few hours away and makes wonderful shadow box assemblages, I bought one named Gus, lol, I just love him, my mom bought one too which was tea and victorian in tones. Here is Kitty with Gus and Me! LOL!Kitty, Debbee, Me, Letty and Susan!
Jen O'Connor and Me!Sue and Me!Me and Mom!The following are photographs of the quaint and picturesque Warwick, NY, just over the NJ border, filled with Victorian and Romantic Charm!If you are ever in town, you must visit Charlotte's Tea Room located at 15 Oakland Avenue, Warwick, NY!

Have a magical night!

Twinkle Twinkle Little Bat, How I Wonder Where You're At!I am a total Alice in Wonderland Lover, its most definately my favorite Children's book, from the unusual characters and story plot to the poems and the various illustrations from a plethora of artists.

I love the setting of the Mad Tea Party, and the magical setting, the tea cups and treats, the Queen of Hearts, Tweedle Dum, Tweedle Dee, Humpty Dumpty's role and the Flamingo's, I love it all. My Aunt Noel actually gave this book to my mom for me just before I was born, she said I would love it when I could understand it, she was so right. I have created some versions of this Lewis Carroll Classic, through illustrations, digitally, zine form and novel form. The pictures in this post are two of my favorite digital images I made for the digital version which I used to have available as a zine before I converted to the new format with Lulu, and might reprint in its new style when I get back from California. Here is what the old Wonderland Chronicles Zine cover looked like
Here's my story:
