Mad Hatter

Madness and mayhem...THAT is how my house looks at the moment.

But it has all been worth the MESS.

This Mad Hatter has finally

come together...

With attention to detail,

I have tried to come up with my own version of the Mad Hatter.

I had thought about a white face with red rimmed eyes...

but decided against that.

The sash of cotton reels was a bit of a challenge, but I managed to come up with an idea using balsa wood...and lots of delicate cutting and gluing. 

I have added fingerless woollen gloves,

to just show under the purple lace trimmed cuffs.

I will list him in our Etsy shop,

but I'm not sure he will stay too long.

You see,

Jodi(our best customer)has had her eye on him

(or rather, his face for some time now)

 so he most probably won't be able to

keep the others company for very long.

Thanks for looking!
