New Alice in Wonderland sculptures and dolls
I recently sold my Alice Meets Mr. Caterpillar and my Cheshire Cat sculptures so I figured I'd better get to work adding more Alice in Wonderland pieces to my shop. I recently completed a handsewn Alice cloth doll which is about 12 inches tall and was sewn from muslin fabric and stuffed with polyester fiberfill. She has hand painted blue eyes and is wearing a blue floral print dress under her white apron. Her black shoes were painted with fabric paint as well. She'd make a fun gift for a little girl, or an older Alice in Wonderland fan.
I also finished another polymer clay Cheshire Cat sculpture. This one was sculpted in light and dark purple clay and measures about 4 inches tall. He's got that classic goofy Cheshire grin, which glows in the dark, as do his large eyes. I plan to sculpt more Cheshire Cats, simply because they're so darn fun! And the glow in the dark effect is just awesome!
Right now I'm working on a plush March Hare, which is coming along nicely. I'm in the process of deciding what to sculpt next, and have been thinking about creating some Alice in Wonderland jewelry as well. When it comes to this story, there really are no limits on what can be created. Be sure to check back at CreativeCritters often, since I'm constantly coming up with new creations. Thanks for stopping by!

This is Wendy. She's all ready for Halloween, dressed in her Black and dark blue witch costume. Wendy is a 17" tall hand sewn cloth doll. She's made from muslin and stuffed with polyester fiberfill. She's wearing a black dress (also sewn by hand), with a sheer blue overskirt. The star on the front of the bodice was painted with glow in the dark dimensional fabric paint, making for a really fun effect in the dark. The dress fastens in the back with velcro. Her legs and boots are all one piece. I used striped fabric for the legs to resemble striped tights. Her boots were sewn from black fabric and I then painted the uppers with Halo Blue Gold Metallic Acrylic paint. This creates an incredible shimmer (and adds a little magic to those boots)! Wendy's bright blue eyes were painted by hand with fabric paint. Her arms have plastic safety joints and her hair is soft Homespun yarn. Her cape was sewn using black fabric, on which I painted more glow in the dark stars, with the sheer blue fabric on the outside. Her hat, made from stuff black felt, also has glow in the dark stars painted on it. Her little black cat is named Spook and was sewn from soft black fleece and stuffed with polyester fiberfill and plastic poly pellets. His eyes were painted with glow in the dark paint and his nose is pink felt. Spook has some very good "Cat Magic" and is quite comforting to hold. Wendy and Spook are one of a kind original creations, handcrafted with love. This pair would make a great gift for any child, doll collector, or anyone who enjoys Halloween.
