The Mad Hatter


When I was eight, we had a fancy hat competition at school. My mother insisted on sending me in a top hat with a 10/6 price tag and I won third prize. OK, I've said it before, I was a weird kid - it was fairly appropriate to turn me into the Mad Hatter, especially when you consider my name is Maddy! I've been a fan of Alice in Wonderland ever since.

"The Mad Hatter"

This original vintage Mad Hatter image is from the Graphics Fairy.  The background stamping uses a Hero Arts stamp with distress inks, and the other bits and pieces are from Papermania's Persimmon collection.


"Mad Hatter 'Fridge Magnet"

The image is unaltered except for the addition of a little colour with promarkers. The frame was enamelled by triple embossing. A piece of magnetic sheet was fixed behind the frame, and some steel card stuck to the card to attach the fridge magnet to the front.
