I am WAY TOO proud ogf my little #AliceInWonderland #WoodTrain ~ the #MadHatter was so fun to make! #MarchHare & #Doormouse are made w/scraps of canvas, painted facial details. The March Hare's whiskers are bits of thread. Used #miniature ceramic teapot; glued lid to side, so The Doormouse has his teapot home. Fabric tablecloth, teapot acts as #SteamFunnel, much to Doormouse's distress!.

I posted another set of photos of character details 😀

Drilling for Treacle

#FanFiction #AliceInWonderland

#wss366 06/25

“Treacle,” said the March Hare, emphasizing his point with his teacup.

“Yes,” said Alice. “What about treacle?”

“It's the only thing worth drilling for.”

“Hear, hear,” came a sleepy voice from the sugar bowl. The voice continued so muffled, no one heard “#Mine treacle not coal.”

“What about oil? The government seems quite intent on drilling for that.”

“Silly girl,” The Hatter said, joining in. “Oil is nasty, black, tarry stuff. Have you ever added to your tea?”

“No,” said Alice, not quite understanding the logic.

The March Hare made a nasty face. “Put it in #mine once, tastes terrible. Treacle is much better.”

“I suppose.” Alice couldn’t argue with that. Still...

The Hatter looked at his watch. “Half past the election. They should be buttering up the budget about now.”

“I think not,” said the Cheshire Cat, who had just joined them. “The badgers will be for throwing it in the ocean because the mice got a piece of cheese.”

“No help for it,” The Hatter said. “We have plenty, though,” and passed Alice a large slice of liberty bread thickly buttered.

Alice was just reaching for it when the Hatter snatched it away, saying, “The Dormouse has buttered the wrong side again.”

“Treacle,” said the March Hare, emphasizing his words with the buttered bread he’d gotten his hands on.

“You just said that,” Alice responded.

“He did, but ti’s a new season,” the Hatter said.

“Indeed,” came a voice from the sugar bowl.
