Alice in Wonderland

 

My friend and I were lucky enough to step into Wonderland for one evening. This is one of the popular theme resturants located in Tokyo's Ginza.  

 

Like going down the rabbit hole into wonderland, we were led through a pathway filled with pages of wallpapers from the story book.

Queen of Hearts

I've been thinking of a center piece for my table and then it hit me, what better than using a bouquet of roses. Inspired by the Queen of Heart's gardens from Alice in Wonderland. Simply got a small vase, red and white roses, wrapping paper and ribbons.

Wrap the wrapping paper around the glass vase, the one I chose was a material like paper. Held together with a hearted ribbon.

Red and White roses like when Alice painted the white roses red.

My new Alice in Wonderland center piece!

Necklace in Wonderland

A few weeks ago I was inspired to draw an illustration from a cute Wonderland necklace here. Unfortunately the necklace was sold out, but last week they were back in stock and I just couldn't resist. One of the best buys ever! It's adorable with little cookies inside... (don't think it's edible though :( I might replace it with edible ones haha). Everytime I wear it, it feels likes it's my ticket to Wonderland, one bite and I'll be small enough to fit into a rabbit hole? :D

Happy Easter

Happy Easter Everyone! was inspired to do an illustration thanks to the EAT ME necklace from Modcloth, unfortunately it's sold out dammit. It's a cute necklace and you can fill it up with whatever goodies you like.

The colours don't appear as well when I scan it but Easter always reminds me of Alice in Wonderland. Kinda freaky when it's the rabbit as the human and humans are the pets, no? :)

Kings and Queens of Anything

At the moment i've been reading the Chronicles of Narnia by C.S.Lewis, And i love it!! (Half a century too late I might add!). I'm still up to the third book but my favourite so far is the second; Prince Caspian. Suprisingly for me, it was the weakest out of the three movies made. The book had so much depth on Caspian's background and it made him such a likeable charater and it made much more sense to what a great King he turned out to be. I also love how the book is set thousands of years later and the humans (Telamarines) don't belive in narninas and the old Kings and Queens were just legends. Like the Pevensies we feel happy to be once more drawn into the world of Narnia, yet sad that so much has changed and only a few really did believe in them.

I never grow tired watching the movies nor will I will the books! Everything described in the books is though it came out of a dream, a dream I wish every night I could too one day open my eyes to. And because the world of Narnia has inspired me so much I just had to draw something out of that dream! I know I'm not the greatest artist in the world (it's been four years since i felt inspired to draw again actually) but pictures are worth a thousand words.

I use Neopiko markers, that I bought while living in Japan. I first draw the draft, ink it, then colour with the markers in layers.

My cute Sanrio Candy Case- which i now use to keep my markers in. I wish i had more coloured markers, but they are too expensive :(

Who wouldn't want a Minotaur as their personal butler??! :D
