ASSEMBLY REQUIRED

These are the side panels for my Alice in Wonderland piece. I think I've gotten most of the elements I wanted in there. The elixir bottle she drinks from, the extra large Alice looking in the mirror, and the metamorphosis from caterpillar to butterfly. I thought about beading the playing card of the queen of hearts, but settled on the crown instead and I really like the way it turned out. The queens mantra of "Off with their heads" is why we see the rabbit skull. The timid mouse is my favorite. I was motivated on this subject matter by the part of the book when the afraid little mouse was listening to Alice talking about her wonderful cat Dinah. The other day, when we were cleaning out the wood shed to get ready to stack a new winter supply, we made a gruesome discovery. Crazy, our cat, has been stashing tons of mice carcasses in various states of being eaten under the wood chips. Little mice should be afraid! As for the the colors, I'm glad I was able to keep the scheme going on the side panels and not add any un-needed new colors willy nilly. Now, on to assembly.
