Follow me down the rabbit hole as I create this Alice in Wonderland inspired mixed media painting.
"Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!" - The White Rabbit
Lewis Carroll , Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
I started with a watercolour wash, and then built up collage layers with book text, magazine images and a paper doily. I added text and more watercolour.
I added a final layer of patterns and details with paint pen.
Close up details:
The finished painting

''Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." -The Queen

Another stunning piece, and I'm loving the granny stripe blanket in the background.

Thanks @pseudopoise, I've made an Alice in wonderland box in an earlier post. https://steemit.com/art/@opheliafu/fairytale-3d-box-pictures
I do love Alice, but avoided doing it for a bit as it can get overdone.
I may do a few Alice quote inspired pieces soon.

I don't think I could ever get tired of Alice pieces :) Wonderland is such an incredible place that I don't think I could ever get tired of seeing new and different interpretations of it. So post away! I'd love to see them once they're finished.

This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more....

@serejandmyself has just done an interesting post on Russian folklore you may like, though it's not for bedtime reading! But neither was the Brothers Grimm!

I simply love the creativity, the colors and your use of text, colors, and puzzles! I think the only way I would ever be that talented is with the use of paint by numbers. LOL Great job @opheliafu - I do look forward to seeing more of your craft.
