And although some Disney adaptations can be a little disheartening (don't get me started on Winnie the Pooh) this chap still makes me smile.
And after seeing the latest version at the weekend... (which I absolutely LOVED!!!)
I was feeling somewhat inspired to try my own version...
I'm not convinced I've got him quite right yet...
All that green makes him look like a leprechaun...
And the facial features are a little too menacingly mad rather than gently bonkers (as all the best people are, of course)
What do you think... shall I work on improvements... or should I just stick to the mad vicars?
Mmm... two posts in one day... I think it is time for Tea.
I think it's great! And very topical at the moment I suppose.
ReplyDeleteWhatever, I think he's great!!
ReplyDeleteI think he's perfectly mad! L x
ReplyDeleteThe mad vicars do look more benign but I think your hatter is great - he makes a fab design for a tea cosy.
ReplyDeletei think the green is triffic and not at all Leprechauny.
ReplyDeleteHave you done the whole tea cosy in a day?!?!? All I've done is tidy/untidy/retidy my workroom and mounted a few samples.
ReplyDeleteI must try harder.
If I were you, I'd send a photo of the Alice cosy to Johnny Depp and ask him if he'd like you to present it to him.
Could happen.
I love the Mad Hatter, I would prefer him on my morning pot of tea to the vicars.
ReplyDeleteGina, keep going... he is awesome and bonkers is one of my all time favourite words !!!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Jodie: keep going. Like Mr Depp, he is worth persuing.....
ReplyDeleteI like him, but if I'm honest I do think it's his teeth that need the work. The teeth make him look really scary! But I think you should work on him and add him to your repertoire.
ReplyDeleteHe is very green indeed, but rather endearingly so. Tall Small is reading Alice at the moment and I'm enjoying the Tenniel illustrations all over again. Lovely stuff!
ReplyDeleteYes...keep going....it's definitely worth pursuing...personally, the green is leprechauny (quick glance test)
ReplyDeleteTake care
Gina he's just barking enough - he's brilliant! Don't stop making them xxx
ReplyDeleteHe's great Gina, but I sriously love those vicars! x
ReplyDeleteA fantastic Mad Hatter, but I agree about the hat. Loved the now film, but prefer the original story.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely project..you could do the whole book!
ReplyDeleteHis eyebrows kill me!
ReplyDeleteNo don't touch him, he's perfectly 'mad' and just a little sinister as he should be :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the vicars.
he's perfect! Don't change him.

I think they are fab...I finished writing a school production version of Alice...there are plenty of contenders for the mad hatter!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on disney Winnie-the-Pooh - aaaargh! I love your Mad Hatter - he's got a touch of Dick Emery's vicar about him!
