It all starts here
There was nothing so very remarkable in that; nor did the time it all seemed quite natural); but, when the Rabbit actually took a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and, burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge.
from Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
To finish up the top of my Alice in Wonderland project, that I had covered with thick grass, I just went with a hedge of sorts. But before I glued it down, I decided to make the rabbit hole smaller.
The hole was just too big and it bothered me, so I added paper inside and painted it. Then I added more paper (after the above photo) to make it even smaller and more ragged. Once painted brown under and green on top, while the paper was still wet with glue, I poked the new hole. I added glue and filled the area with greenery.
This hole actually goes down into the ground some and I am pleased with it now.
Mr. Rabbit looks quite dapper, but almost too small. Yet, I remind myself, that he would be smaller than her.
