It's all relative - an Alice Project

Lewis Carroll was a wonderful mathematician and "Alice in Wonderland" is full of Maths if you know where to look. This project is all about "Relative" versus "Absolute".

"It's all relative - an Alice project"

It's all a matter of perspective. If you look at things from Alice's perspective she gets bigger...

"Did Alice Grow?"

The front and inside are both frames with lettering from a Tim Holtz' alphabet strip die, and a vintage Alice picture behind.. (Notice the 3d effect on the lettering from using two sets of letters in gold and black). The images today are all free and from the Magic Moonlight blog. The front image is pre-coloured, and the inside one is hand-coloured to match with promarkers.

"Or the Room Shrink?"

It's all a matter of perspective. Looked at from outside the room, the same effect can be achieved by shrinking the room. Until the rabbit turns up again! Has he shrunk too??

"Bottle detail showing shrink plastic butterflies"

I couldn't resist altering a bottle to match this project. The outside is coloured with Adirondack alcohol inks, then covered with some mesh. The butterflies are from shrink plastic, embossed with Cosmic Shimmer gold embossing powder, and decorated with tiny gems.

"Bottle detail showing bottle top"

The cap was decorated with matching gems. It's supposed to resemble a crown, but I'm not sure how successful this is!

"Drink Me Tag"

Finally, the tag was kraft cardstock (thanks Lee!), decorated with resist technique stamped clocks and coloured with distress inks, lace and more of the die cut Tim Holtz lettering.

So there you have it. Alice grows relative to the room (or the room shrinks relative to Alice). Who knows the truth? Only the outside observer...except does observing change the truth? But that's another story...
