Down the rabbit hole - Trendy Alice Always Late!

 

Hello!

 

Today a new project with Dusty Attic chipboards, it's a shadow frame with a touch of  Steampunk inspired from Alice in Wonderland theme and the Blockbuster Alice - Through the looking glass. 

 "I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date!", the white Rabbit constantly checks his pocket watch.

He represents the idea of time slipping away and the stress of meeting societal expectations. 

This is an important theme, especially in today's society.

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 To bring the theme into the present day and to customise my favourite themes, I combined the colours moss green and rust.

 The chipboards were first primed with black gesso and then painted with Quinacidone Gold fluid acrylics, which gives them a rusty appearance. Finally, I highlighted them with copper and gold metallic colours using the dry brush technique.

 I used remnants of chipboard as frames. These leftovers are very inspiring and can spark your imagination. For the background, I used a round remnant that was embossed with a wood pattern, which represents the entrance to the rabbit hole. The frame around the photo is also a negative (leftover), which was covered with decosand after priming.
