Oh, I so enjoy joining in with the Shabby challenges

...and the latest

Let's get Shabby Challenge # 9

is to...

*Create a Shabby garden on your project

*Include a quote from anywhere in the book 'Alice in Wonderland'

*and as gardens are usually full of a mix of flowers you will need to include a variety of at least five flowers on your creation.

and here's what I had so much fun creating...

..anyone following my blog recently will know,
that I've got a little addicted to making paper dolls
So, when I see this 'Shabby' challenge it inspired me to make..
Alice the Garden Goddess
-oOo-
Alice is made from a card base
(using the fabby Goddess Template
from The Enchanted Gallery Website)
First, I painted the body with flesh coloured acyrlic paint
then I made Alice's pinnafore and dress from paper
and added some buttons and lace
Her clay face is painted with acrylic paints
added some wool for her hair
then I created a shabby garden from a mixture of shabby flowers and mushrooms.

* The Quote I chose from the 'Alice in Wonderland' Book
was 'What a curious feeling'
I used some alpha beads to spell out the quote, and made them into the hanger for my paper doll.
This quote is from Chapter 1, when Alice drinks from the bottle labelled 'Drink Me'


I filled a little craft bottle with some small blue beads, to make the magic potion
added a label marked 'Drink Me' !!
Can you also spot the key Alice uses to open the door!!

..and here is my Shabby Garden of flowers
with a variety of more than 5 different blooms
