Well, I'm supposed to be finished with my Wonderland doll today. But for various reasons (one of which is that I've been obsessively working on the brand new and fabulous Art Dolls Only web site), she's not done yet. But she's a work in progress.
Remember when Alice grew and grew inside the house and almost popped through -- well, what if she had actually popped through the roof? Here's a drawing I made on a paper tablecloth at a pizza parlor the other day. (This gives you an idea of how pressed for time I can be.) My daughter thought she should have a feather in her hair - don't know if that will make it to the actual piece.
The Alice in Wonderland theme seemed to fit in well with my House Doll concept, so I'm making one of those. She'll be somewhat similar to my last House Doll.
Here is how the piece looked earlier. I've done more sculpting since then. And I hope to have her done very soon - so please check back.
Last year's challenge was my introduction to the Art Dolls Only group and the realization that there were a wonderful group of artists out there that had some of the same interests that I do. Since then, I joined the group and have made more dolls (though not quite as many as I would like to).
Please visit the Art Dolls Only blog for a list of the other participants in this challenge!

wonderful idea! Can't wait to see it finished.
I like where your going with your Alice doll...after looking at some of your other dolls, I'd imagine she's going to be just lovely :)
I love this concept - can't wait to see it!!
I once saw an Alice house doll (though not like yours). If I have the book it came from I will send you the reference. I always enjoy your dolls and the "nature" the hold within/upon them. I look forward to seeing her completed.
She is going to be fantasic... love the idea :O)
That looks so intriguing, I can't wait to see the finished piece :)
Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments! I will visit all of the other blogs when I have a spare moment (I'm trying to limit my online time until I get this doll finished!). Still working on her - hope to have her done soon. It always seems to take me longer than I anticipate to complete my dolls....
Yay - she's done! Check out my blog for the final product and let me know what you think....
