March Swap at the Alley

Alice was easy to pick for the "Alice in Wonderland" swap at Pindoll Alley. I looked into several books and a lot of pictures on Google and then came up with my own version. I made her a red head (I can be a rebel sometimes). I put 2 rows of beads to attach the legs onto the body and one row of beads to attach the arms. A simple blue dress with lace and red striped stocking finished the look. She is also carrying a bag with a picture of the tea party.

Sometimes when there is a lot to choose from it gets doubly difficult. There are so many fun characters in the Wonderland and so I have very little time! Should I make the March Hare? How about the cook in the Queen's kitchen? or the flamingo? or the card soldier with a red paint brush? The list was long and I could not decide. Finally I made the Queen of Hearts. Here she is with her royal blue hair and the blue features just like in her pictures on the playing cards. This month's challenge was fun and throughly enjoyed making both the dolls.
