This is a special year for all things
This is the 150th anniversary
of the publication of
Hop on over to
and join in the fun.
The kettle's on!
and I thought, maybe there were
some other people
who would like an Alice doll, too.
People like
the White Rabbit
and the Cheshire Cat.
Obviously, a little paper clay art doll
isn't a good toy
for a bunny or a cat.
We're going to make a little Alice doll
from some sisal twine.
Sisal twine is safe for cat and rabbit toys.
You need a ball of sisal twine,
a book and a pair of scissors.
First, wrap the twine around the book ten times
cut off the end and slide off the book.
Then, wrap the twine across the book
five times, and slip off the book.
Take the longer piece of twine and tie off
where you want Alice's head to be.
Poke the shorter piece of twine through the long piece,
to make Alice's arms, and tie another stand of twine
underneath, to make her chest.
Cut through all the loops at the opposite end to the head
and fluff them out, to make Alice's skirt.
Tie a nice fluffy piece of sisal twine through the top of
Alice's head and separate the strands,
to make Alice's long, blonde hair.
Here's your Alice!
Give to your kitty or bunny to enjoy!
(Yeah, I know.
It does look a bit Blair Witch...
But, that's ok.
Now you know what to make
your bunny for Halloween, too.)
And, as I always make
for the
Mad Tea Party,
here is mine for this year.
Tiptoeing through the topiary.
Lying in the clover.
She's very small, just ten inches tall.
On a side note, I'm
very
very
very
excited to tell you
I've designed another book cover,
Thank you so much for visiting me
and taking tea
at this Wonderland
Mad Tea Party.
I'll be along to your blog,
some time this weekend.
Hugs!
