Everything Alice Book Review, Craft and Giveaway!
***Update! We have a winner! bunnysmommy!! Congrats!***
When I heard that there was an Alice book to review I jumped at the chance, and begged. I have loved everything Alice (how fitting!) my whole life.Everything Alice: The Wonderland Book of Makes & Bakes by Hannah Read-Baldrey and Christine Leech is a truly beautiful book. Even if you aren’t crafty but love Alice, this would still be a good book to own as the pictures and projects are stunning.I actually made two projects from Everything Alice to show you. The first one is so simple, even a non crafter can do it. No, really. It’s called Dress Me Alice and White Rabbit. This project is so simple, that you can even cheat a little, which I totally did. They say to copy the pictures and then glue them onto thin cardboard. I simply copied them onto white cardstock and cut out the middle man. The downside to this is that you really have to bend the spine to get the book to lay flat enough to copy it without shadows and stuff on the sides.
Paper dolls but even more fabulous!
I also made the Cheshire Cat handwarmer. I sewed it by hand and you can tell I am by no means a seamstress. It was fun to make though so that really is all that matters. I’m going to actually keep mine in the freezer for headaches.
The Cheshire Cat is my favourite character in the books so that project was a no-brainer. Now, for a chance to win your very own copy of this book let me know in the comments who your favourite Alice character is. One winner will be chosen at random on Feb. 13.
I would have to go with the Cheshire cat too. I just love him! I never win anything so I hope I win this!!!!
I LOVE the Mad Hatter, he has been my favorite since I was a little girl.
My favourite character is the Mad Hatter :) The idea for his character is really quite clever… milliners/hat makers worked with lead, the fumes of which eventually made them quite mad! Also, the character himself always makes me smile :D
Out of so many awesome characters in the books, I’d have to choose the White Knight. He was funny to my little brain even before I found out why he was so clumsy, and that made him even more awesome.
Its hard to choose just one.. but the caterpillar is pretty spectacular! Must go back and have a reread of this!
Very cool giveaway. I love the Mad Hatter, and the dormouse is adorable too.
The Jabberwocky is my favorite character. I know he is one step removed from the story, but he has been my favorite since childhood.
The Dormouse, not a big character but who doesn’t love people/animals who talk in their sleep :)
I like the Caterpillar…(especially when voiced by Alan Rickman)
The Queen.
Of with his head! Off with his head!
And her creative means by which she didn’t have to pay her maids. I recall it being something like “You will be paid every other Tuesday, and since every Tuesday is this Tuesday, you wont be paid at all.”
Do you post internationally?
I too would say that the Caterpillar is my favorite character, but I also like Humpty Dumpty!
I just love the turtle (of the soup), he is so… morose but lovable :)
I like Alice!
My favorite is the White Rabbit!
Oh, my favorite is the Cheshire Cat, too! But I also like the White Rabbit-when I was 8, I sang his song from the Disney film to audition for a play, and I remember most of it, too!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
I have always loved Alice in Wonderland, too! This book is such a cool idea. My favorite character is the caterpillar. Smoking from a hookah on a mushroom and listening to poetry sounds like a mighty fine time!
Alice, of course, is my favorite but close seconds are Tweedle Dee and Dum (even if they scare the crap out of me)!
While I identify with the rabbit, the Queen is the best character.
Oh, if I can go through the looking glass, the Red Queen was always my favourite. If I have to stick to Wonderland, though, I think I’d pick the Cheshire Cat as well. A perennial favourite.
Definitely the Cheshire Cat! He is adorable in all his incarnations!
I love everything Wonderland! The griffin is my favorite character.
Cheshire cat hands down, I have him tattoed to my lower back.
I love Alice herself!
So many to pick from, but my favorite is probably either Alice herself or the Mad Hatter.
I worked for two incompetent bosses once who were brothers. I nicked name them “The Walrus and the Carpenter”. Every time I had the Disney soundtrack on in my office and that song came on, I burst out laughing.
It still brings a smile to my face today so those two fellow would be my favorite characters.
Oh this is awesome! I too, am an avid Alice fan. It was my wedding theme and seems to encompass 90% of my projects! Even my logo is based on Wonderland! hehe. Thank you so much for offering this giveaway! I am also a fan of the Cheshire Cat above all the other characters. But really, they are all just wonderful! Thanks again, for the chance to win such a fabulous book!
Alice, of course, since I suppose Lewis Carroll doesn’t really count as a character. This definitely makes me want to hunt down my Annotated Alice and re-re-re-re-re-read it.
I gotta say the Dormouse. A friend of mine had a ‘Because I’m turning 21, I’m going to have 12 year old’s party’, Alice style of course, and I dressed up as the new T.B. version. I crocheted a giant eye and mouse eyes for it!
I ment ears >~<
Most defiantly the Cheshire cat. :3
The White Rabbit!
Mad Hatter!! I wish I could attend one of his tea parties! I <3 the madness!
My favorite character, isn’t a character traditionally, but I love the tea party; the table, chairs, teapots and cups! It’s my favorite part of the whole book
My favorite Wonderland character would have to be the Queen’s card army.
