Thanks ever so much for stopping by! Today is the day - Vanessa Valencia over at A Fanciful Twist is hosting her annual Mad Tea Party (a sort of cyber blog-hop and all around *magical* time!)
Grab a comfy chair and pour yourself a cup of tea, as I tell you a very quick little tale about an Artist in Wonderland...
Once upon a time there was a little girl who discovered she could make ART, and she tumbled down a rabbit hole into a world of wondrous and *magical* things, of whimsy and color and creativity...
The girl grew up, but never emerged from this artistic Wonderland, and never forgot her childhood. She painted animals. She painted people. She painted her favorite holidays. And she painted all things Alice, from one of her favorite childhood stories.
She painted Alice on canvas...
She painted Alice on square things...
She painted Alice on round things...
She even painted Alice on birdhouses...
To enter the giveaway for my original, hand painted ornament, just leave a comment here (and if you don't have a blog that automatically links, please leave contact info!) and I'll draw a name this coming Friday, July 18th, at 6PM eastern time.
And while it's certainly not a requirement, I'd be ever so delighted if you follow my blog here, and/or visit my Facebook page and give it a "like" (and don't forget to click "get notifications" to stay in the loop with new work and future giveaways!)
Thanks so much for visiting!

The White Rabbit and Dormouse.....my favorites!
The Cheshire Cat rules the roost! Loved the book as a child and still love Alice to this day. Thank you!
Would love a Mad cuppa tay!

Oh, how adorable! Your art is gorgeous---I'd be delighted to win! I really do think Alice is my favorite character of all. She tries so hard to be patient with all the chaos around her! Even in her curiosity, she still keeps her good manners!
I hope you'll stop by and visit my party, too!
