A NEW START

My absence from blogging has been because till now  my photos would not come up to transfer across from the computer, the iPad or my phone, Very frustrating!!!!!

 Then tonight reluctantly the computer brought them over but as soon as I tried  to re arrange them they all disappeared and it was back to the start again, hopefully this time they will stay, and I wont risk trying to put them in the correct order.

I have decided this year to work toward a story book tree for myself.  It started  the book Alice in Wonderland and with the Mad Hatter, it took four attempts before I manage to make him a hat that I was happy with, he is not quite complete have ordered a tiny tea cup for him and need to make him a piece of bread.        While working on these characters I re read my old copy of Alice in Wonderland  and found I really enjoyed the clever use of language in the story, ,I wonder as a child did I really  follow how clever the writing was or was I just caught up in the story's adventures.  I note now that the characters are not describe in too much detail and so the readers imagines them for themselves, in this I have possibly been too kind to the Queen of Hearts, my one does not look as if she is about to scream Off with their heads! I had the White Rabbit all finished as he appears at the Court and went back to the book to discover the brief opening description of him was a white rabbit with pink eyes! I will possibly make him  again when I can find a pocket watch small enough as these are only 12cm high. Alice will come later I need to wait till I put in my next felt order first.

 

Now before it all disappears again like the Cheshire Cat I will hit the publish button.

I hope for all the new year of 2021 has started well even if you are one of those in the world that are housebound because of the restrictions.
