Yes, more Alice in Wonderland dolls! I can’t resist a chance to get involved where Alice is concerned. Here are two new Alice dolls I made for the
I call this doll ‘Mad Alice’ because while I was sewing up the dress my six year old said “That doesn’t look like Alice, it looks more like The Mad Hatter”. So I said, “all right, I’ll make Mad Alice”. I painted her eyes up to look mad (as in angry). My original inspiration was Alice Liddell, the “real” Alice, the girl that Lewis Carroll wrote his Wonderland stories for. She wore ruffled Victorian dresses and always had a somber face in the photographs that Carroll took of her. Blue hair just seemed to fit the mood.
There she goes showing off her stripy bloomers, very inappropriate!
This one I call “Alice the White Rabbit”.
If Alice can shrink and grow, playing cards and cats can turn into queens, isn’t it also possible that Alice can become the white rabbit? Remember, it’s a dream after all.
Here she is just starting to change, still mostly girl but her hair and face are on their way to becoming bunny.

I also made a White Rabbit toy for Alice.
Fabric covered with white rabbits was the obvious choice for her dress. She has lace trimmed bloomers and painted on black mary janes.
Last year I made a "Growing Alice" doll and a Queen of Hearts doll for the Go Ask Alice Doll and Plush Show. If you would like to see them they are HERE on my Flickr.

ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic! Mad Alice's mad expression is great and I especially dig what you did with Alice the White Rabbit's hair.
ReplyDeleteI love her blue hair she is quirky and looks a little bit put out. Nice one!!
ReplyDeleteWow, so many great components! I honestly love the blue hair, and the way you incorporated the clock into her dress bodice. The white rabbit fabric for Alice's dress- what a great touch. So very creative all around. HUGE KUDOS!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cloth dolls! Mad Alice looks like a feisty one ;) I love the Alice Rabbit-hair!
ReplyDeleteOh they are both beautiful! fantastic workmanship.
ReplyDeleteYour dolls are real little cuties! I love the idea of mixing the characteristics of each protagonist in the dolls.Very clever.
ReplyDelete"Alice the White Rabbit" is so creative. You did a wonderful job, but Mad Alice is just rockin' in her stripey bloomers! Just the kind of Alice I'd like to have at my Tea Party.
ReplyDeleteThey are so Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeay :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone for your friendly, encouraging comments. The "Madness" and rabbit aspects both evolved as the dolls were being made. My dolls always finish in a way that surprises me.
ReplyDeleteThese are such creative interpretations of Alice, they are wonderful! I especially like the white rabbit Alice and her precious little friend!
ReplyDeleteOh both dolls are adorable :)
ReplyDeletere lindas tus dolls!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope see more! sorry...my english again! ^_^U
Alice seems to be popular right now. I just saw this yesterday and was reminded of it when I saw your doll. Love the blue!
