... The Alice Dress from the video is now hanging up in my Etsy Shop waiting for someone to give her a home, preferably in an old worn out closet which has magic doors to hidden worlds ...

... She has been hand dyed, tea stained, and covered in stamped black butterflies. 

The back is corseted and the straps tie up in bows

I love our new little video so much I can't stop watching it - I'm all lost inside - definitely not growing up anytime soon - I'm all floaty in Peter Pan and Alice Land

 ... Here are some creepy stills I caught ...

Our inspiration, if you haven't already guessed was Childhood, but that creep spooky kind you find in the eyes of old victorian dolls.  We walked around The Childhood Museum here in London for hours stealing away lots of footage with our phones... I took photos too, and at one point my camera started to flash on its own taking photos of a painting I was vaguely pointing in the direction of; we were definitely being played with.  

"...Ring a Round The Rosie...

a Pocket Full of Posies... 

Ashes! Ashes! 

... We All fall Down..."

There's lots of Childhood inspiration in Etsy Land too...

Here are some of the most recent ones I've stumbled across and loved

I adore this image so much, I'd love to buy a whole series, frame them and put them all over my walls.  I think this lovely photographer can see what the inside of grown up little girls minds look like. definitely a new inspiration - following, following...

And so it goes, rolling down hills and bumping our heads.  But there's not quite enough brown paper to fix this and make it better... so I used candy floss.  Brown paper isn't good for you anyway so I've heard.  candy Floss is much much more effective, and tastes like what clouds looks like from above...

...so no apple a day from that Man with a funny face; I'll plant seeds and grow my own instead.  He can just watch while my beanstalk grows out of control and takes over his office.  That will show him. And I don't even like bread; it's nothing at all like spaghetti...

Kimberley came to play in my garden, 

she brought balloons and a special gift tied with a big red bow.

This is her first time modelling and she was perfect

Tales From The Treehouse

Watched and wondered when the spell was cast... how we disassociate, from everything, from actual [human] nature.  I want to be a bear again, as maybe I was before, or still am (that's what I mean) and you are there already in the canopy and we can just go get lost far far away from all of this craziness.  It's the fairy story that was before and still is... and I have ticket(s).

Tales From The Treehouse

A bee busy and there's not enough coffee in the world... if you'd have stayed and left work somewhere else we would have probably fallen further through a caterpillar hole where time goes all funny then 3 hours have passed in a slow blink of an eye.  I wanted to be closer to you; inside your chest and your eye, like the movie where they're tiny.  

Inside.  Inside and all over...

Who would have ever thought this could have happened.

...It's the rest that's unbelievable now... but I'll get a magic pass and escape, might be wrong but I'm not caring, at least we can sit in the dark together.

The bunny: loved.
