Alice and the gang!!!

Those of you that have been following me for some time know that I had the honor of being asked to display some of my whimsical ooaks at the Art & Soul Gallery in Bothel, Washington. Sadly, due to the hard times that seems to be reaching out to a lot of us, the gallery owner is going to have to close the doors.  That being said, my "Alice" series of ooaks have come back home. I have them listed in my Etsy shoppe for now but I may have found a gallery here in my hometown that may want to display them. It seems my ooaks are getting to live a most adventuresome life.

For those that haven't seen "Alice and her gang"....the following photos are for you. Even if you have already seen them I hope you enjoy seeing them again. If interested click on my Etsy banner over to the right. If you might be interested in the whole collection, email me and I will give you a nice little discount. Click on the caption under each photo to read the original post about each of my whimsical Alice characters.

C is for Cat....Cheshire Cat!!

"One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire Cat in a tree.

Which road do I take? She asked.

Where do you want to go? Was his response.

I don't know, Alice answered.

Then, said the cat, it doesn't really matter."

*************************

I would think by now anyone having read any of my latest post has explored or re-explored the wonderful tale of Alice. It is such an amazing story...filled with so many wonderful characters. One I think that might keep it's self in any readers mind is the Cheshire Cat. He is written into the story at just the right times....popping in here....appearing there or even disappearing with only his grin to be seen. Such typical cat behavior, don't you think? Never come when called and always sneaking up upon you. Have to love the cat.

Here is my imagination bringing Cheshire out in the open for you to enjoy. 

Cat as he will be called from this point on ^_^ is one of my multi median ooaks. He has a strong wire armature that has been needle felted with cotton batting. He is then covered in faux fur....tried to

comb my cat to felt her fur into the batting to get real cat fur but she just wouldn't have anything to do with that idea. Imagine that!! His face and paws are sculpted out of Prosculpt clay and then washed with an acrylic paint mixture to give him that old porcelan look. He has tiny bone beads in his paws to look like claws. He has glass green eyes that have been detailed using acrylic paints and then sealed. His whiskers are twisted wire. His collar is a silk ribbon. He is in a sitting position with his paw up ready to wash and clean his pretty little face. He can also sit on the arm of Alice's chair. When doing this he is trying so hard to give her advice on eating and drinking.

 Such a big old grin Cat has. Makes you wonder just what is going through that mind of his. 

Chaz just informed me that someone drank his milk...I think I see who...look at Cat.
Don't think he finished cleaning those whiskers...Bad Cat..Bad Cat!!!

As always, thank you for stopping by my whimsical world. Please come again and again and again......

Until next time.....Hugs,
