Hey folks! I've been busily trying to get this finished and shipped before the Oct. 15 deadline for submission to Somerset Studio magazine for their upcoming Alice In Wonderland themed issue due out in March of 2012. I have never submitted anything to a magazine before, so this is exciting and scary at the same time. I am shipping it off tomorrow, but wanted to share it with you before it goes "on vacation." I may not get it back for a long time.
It took me a while to decide what I wanted to do. I had a bunch of different characters floating around in my head. Because of my affinity for all things feline, I HAD to add the Cheshire Cat. I wanted him to look wacky, and perhaps a little spooky. I have always found the pictures in the original book of Alice trying to hold onto her flamingo to be hilarious, so that ended up going into the final painting also. I tried to make the rabbit look a bit mysterious. This was so much fun to do, and was a great challenge. Wish me luck! I hope you like it!

I looks so great! Congrats and good luck :)
yes, I like it. Love the cat!
Wish you the best...
Thanks ladies!
The rabbit looks a bit like a business man or irs agent. Maybe he is analyzing the flamingo as a tax deduction for Alice!
See! I thought he looked like he was on a covert mission! He's a rabbit of mystery....a 007 rabbit. He gets all the ladies, and no one messes with him! LOL
Hi Lori! So glad to have found your site! Your Alice submission is fabulous! I just made it for the deadline to my very first submission too! Love Alice holding the flamingo! Best of Luck! Can't wait to see you in the magazine!
