Wonderland

Is the very last formally scheduled challenge over on the Altered Alice blog
And I just so happened to make a piece that fits the bill perfectly without even realising.
As you may have seen around blogland there is a bit of spool mania going on..
These little carved circle chunks of wood are just such fun to work with..
So yes.. i've done another!

I guess I was in a wonderland kinda mood as this thing practically made itself.

I had it in my head I was going to make another shabby chic one but after painting the spool with distress paint & ink and picking a Tim Holtz stamped ticket as my wrap around the idea of an alice/wonderland theme popped in my head. 

I stamped mini checkers on top and bottom of the spool, 

I then stamped and cut out the mad hatter & the word wonderland from white card, smooched over a bit of distress ink and bobs your uncle.. Job done.

I found some funky fibres {I believe these were some of the many freebie strands obtained with each 'craft obsessions' purchase} 

No i've not shopped recently before you ask!

I tied them to the jump ring at the bottom along with a few choice charms to set the wonderland theme.

I'm quite chuffed at how it all came together.. And this won't be the last one you see on the blog either.. Thats for sure lol

Thanks for dropping by, mucho appreciated always xo

Stay Inky
