I thought it´s time for another Alice challenge as we all love Alice, don´t we? So here´s my sample card for this week´s Sunday Postcard Art challenge "All Things Alice". I´ve chosen it as my sample as I love this Madhatter stamp from IndigoBlu, but wait, I´ve made more ...
And finally we have Alice herself in a nature setting, combined with a wonderful quote that is not from Lewis Carroll - but I don´t care as I really like it and I always collage pics with words that don´t come from the same source (both stamps are from IndigoBlu again). I´m not a Lewis Carroll curator in a literature archive but an artist, so I chose quotes that fit in terms of content, not history.
Other people DO care if a quote used with Alice illustrations really is from the book - for those of you here´s an interesting blog post where you´ll also find my quotes that aren´t originally from the book - so what? A Rose is a Rose is from Gertrude Stein but seemed appropriate, and so I used it. As I have studied literature, I love words and literature and care for history, but as a collage artist, I`m free to combine whatever I want.
What do you think about Alice quotes?
I´m curious to see your Alice cards this week and read about your opinions.

i love all three of these, especially the queen of hearts i think. as to quotes, there are many great ones from the alice story but i love mixing it up, too; and the quotes you've used are a perfect fit! our artistry requires us to draw from many different sources, right? never stop! xo
Being an Alice fan myself I have a collection to, so I really love and appreciate you great work. Well done!
Sieh aus als konntest du nicht aufhören, tolles Trio!
Happy Sunday
My Alice is
HERE
much love
Wow, Marion, you were into this theme, alright! Now first one no brainer you are depp's fan. Second one reminds me so much of Mary Engelbreit art, so much! And third one is very Alice-Emo. Nice . Love all 3 and the sentiments are great too. I half-referenced Grace Slick in White Rabbit on mine. xox
Boooah Marion, eine Karte schöner als sie andere!!! 👍👍👍
Bei der 3. Karte, das Alice-Motiv habe ich "links liegen gelassen" ... - aber wenn ich deine Karte so sehe, dann muss ich noch mal drüber nachdenken. 😉
Liebe Grüße

Oh, wow, all of these are fantastic! I love all of them.
Marion! I love these! Especially the Alice one with the IndigoBlu stamp. I might just have to buy that stamp. You do such a wonderful job of colouring your images! Wow!
I agree, and like the quotes you chose for your beautiful postcards. Art is about creativity, which shouldn't be constrained by rules. Blessings!
