My year-in-review
Lost in Alice
Today, I've chosen some of my favourite Alice in Wonderland inspired posts that I've created during my past year on Steemit. Taking my inspiration from the words of Lewis Carroll my paintbrush and I fell down a wonderful rabbit hole and landed on the blockchain, this is the result...
We’re all mad here
“But I don’t want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”
― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
Step into my shoes
Fly borogove fly!
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.’
-An extract from Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll , Through the Looking-Glass
Have you ever seen a borogove?
Up-close in real life?
Especially a mimsy one at that!
I’ve hear they can give quite a nip
Even with their upturned beaks
They don’t travel far
They can’t fly you see
They are a bird without wings
A shaggy mop on stilts
Very strange
Ever so odd
Not an everyday sight
How do I know?
The Mad Hatter told me all about them
Over a lovely cup of tea
-by @opheliafu
Fancy a cuppa?
'Yes, that’s it,' said the Hatter with a sigh: `it’s always tea-time, and we’ve no time to wash the things between whiles.’
- Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

Are you there Alice?
The blue raven
The Hatter opened his eyes very wide on hearing this; but all he said was, “Why is a raven like a writing-desk?”
“Come, we shall have some fun now!” thought Alice. “I’m glad they’ve begun asking riddles. — I believe I can guess that,” she added aloud.
By Lewis Carroll, 'Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland', Chapter 7
I was a different person yesterday.
“I could tell you my adventures—beginning from this morning,” said Alice a little timidly; “but it’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.”
― Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland , Chapter 10.
Have a great day.. and be careful you don't fall down that rabbit hole...
unless, of course, you want to!
What a treasure trove you have here @opheliafu! Amazing work as always. I love "Fly Borogrove Fly!" That is my favorite. And how you made the black and navy raven look split in half, made it really look like it was sitting on the writing paper.; to me anyway. And the raven even looks whole at the same time. I feel like I never have the right words to show how much I love your work! :)

I drew that raven whilst I was sat in a tent using a torch light on my head to see by- there was a screeching owl in the tree above me...
‘What a curious helmet you’ve got!’ said Alice cheerfully. ‘Is that your invention too?’

I have a doubt here , is it actually about alice in wonderland or does it have a hidden meaning. Like we people might find a wonderland somewhere. Are you talking about that or just a rhyme about alice? I too write so i try to find something deep in everything. I believe there must be something in it which I am unable to see. Is it so?

The meaning is what you take from it. For each person it will differ.
