Description Next prompt in my Hatter25 challenge: "repair".

That is Reggie's coat Alice is sewing up, of course. Probably tore it whilst hanging in the tree outside Alice's window.

The sofa is an old favorite chiyogami pattern which turned out very nicely. I've been stuck on that sunny yellow filter lately, and I like it here. The background I'm sort of iffy about. Another case of being too lazy to do it up proper.

Garden Of Kama is a collection of Indian love poetry collected by Laurence Hope in 1919. Most of it's innocuous, but it can get pretty passionate, cha know.


Props to ; Reggie is her Hatter.

My pleasure! And I know how you feel. I visited my husband's family some months ago, and his cousin asked if I could sew up some loose pieces on her prom dress because I was good with a needle. I felt so honored!

I surprised my now Ex's grandmother by fixing one of her throw pillows that had a split seam. She was really touched that I would do that for her. I just wanted to do something nice for her

I love Alice's expression. To me it's kind of a "Yeah, yeah. You just keep telling yourself that" look. Though of course things have changed in the official storyline to make it so that maybe... just maybe... YAY!

Love the lighting and shadows on this piece of your work. It's a very interesting and in-depth mood. I'm strangely attracted to this piece Keep up the lovely work.

usarah665 [2010-03-07 18:36:12 +0000 UTC]

One of my absolute favorites. I feel like it really captures something about their relationship. Reggie's probably reading the poems backwards or something and Alice is taking it in stride.

Lovely job

bethwhowishes [2008-09-06 13:13:55 +0000 UTC]

how to artists make their pictures look like they've been dipped in orange juice; that kind of warm slightly pinky sepia effect? its gorgeous - but I don't gerrit - hows it done?!

nk-chan In reply to bethwhowishes [2008-10-21 08:18:12 +0000 UTC]

I think this one's just done with brown lines and warm colors, but you can get the orange juice effect (I like your metaphor by the way) by making a new layer in Photoshop, filling it with orange, and changing the layer style. (I think that's what it's called, the drop-down box in the layer window..) Many of the layer styles work well for that sort of thing~ (You may also want to change the layer opacity.)

My apologies for favouriting almost every piece of your hatter art. I actually enjoy every single piece I add individually, and for different reasons, not just because it's Alice and Reggie. (Just wanted to clear that up.)

This one has a wonderful, relaxing, homey feel. Very nice!

Slave-to-Misery [2008-02-22 12:20:29 +0000 UTC]

I love how comfortable they are together. She even does chores for him!
I must admit, at first I hought the orange material was his pants.. Shortly afterwards I was screaming at the computer "IS HE PANTLESS?!"
That's not such a bad thought, eh?
But really, they're simply adorable together in all their twisted, lovey, hating, sweet and strange ways.

This is beautiful! I really love the details, such as the short curl escaping from Alice's hairdo. I should also mention how I adore how you have been able to retain Alice's character, but make her look more grown up and mature.

Oh...my...this is so nice. It reminds me of something I just can't put my thumb on it (in terms of early books and thier illustrations)

You should do a collaboration with bri-chan. It would be nice to see what the two of you could come up with.
