Alice in Wonderland Hand Art

This whimsical masterpiece was inspired by a lip art design created by Ms.MaoMaoz. My favorite part of it is that it looks more like a work of art that just came out of the Abstract Expressionist period. Even better, she kind of mentioned in a response to a comment on her post that she was trying to come up with different ways of recreating her lip art. Well, Mao, I came up with yet another: hand art!

As always, I started with a white outline using white paint (Mehron Paradise). You can also use a white eyeliner pencil if you prefer.

Now, I begin the fill-in process starting with Beach Berry (Mehron Paradise) for the heart in the middle; that's the Queen of Hearts.

Then, I used a mix of Light Pink and Mauve to create the stripes of the Cheshire Cat,

For the Alice part, I simply used a mix of light blue and turquoise from the Pretty Baby Rainbow Cake.

Then, I painted a black & white checker-print pattern underneath the Alice stripe for the Queen's court.

The white rabbit part is probably one of the more difficult parts because of having to paint the watch on a small scale, but I did it anyway. So, I painted a white background. Then, filled in the circle with gold (taken from the Pink Pizzazz Arty Brush Cake). Then, I used a mix of black and gold for the chain, and used more black to paint in the hands on the watch.

For the Mad Hatter, I painted two white cards above the Alice stripe, then filled them in. Then, I used black to paint the letter A on one of the cards, and a red heart on the second card.

Unlike Ms.MaoMaoz's lip art, for the final details, I filled in the empty areas of my hand with more black, while outlining the entire piece. Then, I capped it all off with a little white highlight on one corner of the red heart in the middle!

As fast as you can say, "Eat Me" or "Drink Me", this Alice in Wonderland hand art is a fantasy of a whimsical masterpiece! Thanks, Mao for the fun, "colorful charade" of a design!
