After a little over a month it is FINALLY DONE!!!

I have always loveeed Alice in Wonderland, even the cartoon Disney version (even though some of my friends think it’s really creepy haha).  They never really showed Mad Hatter’s workroom (only a little glimpse of it in the recent movie) so I wanted to make one based on what I think it would look like.

I have to say, the part I love most in the entire room is the sketches and crumpled paper part =].  It was so fun thinking up hat designs and making the little pins to pin the sketches to the wall.  I also *heart* the mini purple chair ^___^ it’s sooo cuteee.

The hardest part is probably the tiny stool.  GAAHHHH the legs kept falling off (since it is made from wire, so thin it wouldn’t stick right)!! X_X…and it was hard to shape the wood into a circle.  I tried cutting it with scissors and apparently too much pressure made the wood crack *siiigh* sooo yay in the end, I drilled tiny holes into the bottom of the wooden seat and applied some glue to the tip of the wires to keep it in place.

All in all, I hope you guys love this piece!! I had sooo much fun making it (even though it took me forever…and I lost motivation halfway through…and had artist’s block…and *complaincomplaincomplain*) ^o^.

Hey everyone!

Hope everyone is having a great Thursday!  So if you have been following my blog or dA, you might have seen my posts of my Mad Hatter workroom piece.  Well it is close to done but I need help! I’m kind of stuck because I feel like the walls should have more things but I can’t seem to think of what else to put. 

Here’s a WIP so far.  I need to add stuff onto the mantle and walls mostly.

What else would you expect to see in Mad Hatter’s workroom? What items should I add?

I’m still not done with Mad Hatter’s work room!  It is so much fun.  Last night I made bricks and glued them one by one to make a fireplace haha.  It is not your conventional fireplace, but I like how it turned out.  I hope you guys like it too!  Oh yes, the hat in the corner is only a place holder.  I did not make it, it is plastic.  It came with my dunny doll haha.

Anyways!  I do not know when I will finish this since there is still a lot of work that needs to be done, but I do hope you guys are liking it so far!! =]

Hi guys! I haven’t posted in a few days because I have been busy making another room!  Since it won’t be done for maybe another week or so, I wanted to post a WIP photo of it.  Keep in mind that it is not even halfway done yet so there is going to be tons of improvement still! =].  Can you guys guess what this is?

I always loved Alice in Wonderland so I decided to make Mad Hatter’s Workroom.  This is my interpretation of what it might have looked like. (The beige things in the corner are hat stands, which I have not hatted yet!)  Hope you guys like this!! =]
