Layered Inspiration Part 2- Alice in Wonderland

Okay, so maybe Alice is a little overdone, but I just can't get enough of her! I remember the first time I read Lewis Carrolls novel. I think I was in like 3rd or 4th grade. I was a very early reader and loved books. But when I read this book I just didn't get it. I was totally intimidated. I remember thinking, "I am not going to tell anyone, I have no idea what that book is about." When I saw the movie it made so much more sense! When I re-read the novel as an adult, I realize that it is supposed to be nonsense, but what a difficult concept for a young child to get! 

Okay, I have also finished my 3rd piece. I'll give you a hint. It's a black dress, all black, worn by a very famous Kate. One of my favorite books, but I have never seen the very famous classic movie that was made of it. I have a special gift for anyone who guesses the subject of my third canvas in the comments!

  1. All I can think of is Kate Winslett in Titanic? Can't wait to see what it is. And, I don't think I've read Alice in Wonderland. Hmmm, maybe I'll rent the movie.
