Several weeks ago I purchased some charms from Alpha Stamps to use in my Alice in Wonderland project.
To do this, I first cut away the bails (loops) and I used files and my Dremel to reshape where I cut. I should have used it to reshape Alice, but I left her as is except for fixing her hair.
Next I base coated each charm in white. The two bigger rabbits, I painted them very similar. Each color required two coats over the base coat.
Here is the first rabbit in place to finish off Mr. Rabbit house section

charms are great if they fit the scale

I also got started with the figures for the Tea Party
the March Hare started out in an ornament. He is in a broken egg shell.

I hunted and hunted for a Mad Hatter charm, but didn’t find one so I found this Christmas village figure to modify.

no more eggshell, no more legs, shh that’s my secret

I realize they both need bowties and maybe some other touch ups, but this is a great start.
I also need a dormouse and I may have just the thing in my stash, now where is that box….
