Usually, I do a tutorial of some sort of an Alice in Wonderland project, but this year, the project is just a little too complicated for my limited abilities in writing instructions. So, instead, I'm posting this video of it.
Please enjoy a carpet ride through my Mad Tea Party photo and memory album that I created.
To see it really well, I suggest clicking the enlargement icon on the lower right of the video (next to the YouTube logo) and it will go full screen. It makes it much easier to see the tiny parts of the piece.
Hope you enjoyed my album!

Hi Tristan! Gosh, it's been AGES since I've visited your wonderful blog (Facebook has made me soooooo lazy, lol)....
Your work is enchanting as always (LOVE the album!) and I really must chat with you re Zibbit sometime too - I've been considering it.
Please do drop my name in the Mad Hatter's Hat, and if you have a chance, stop by my blog. :)

GOOD MORNING TRISTAN! How wonderful to hear your joyful voice - there is a lot of goodness here, starting with your voice, showing your wonderful art. How I love little books handmade with a person's passion. Love the lace, the little photos and pages, ribbons....YOU tickle my fancy! Have you ever been to Carmel-by-the-sea? Well, in the little fairytale village, there is a great shop called, THE WHITE RABBIT, dedicated to all things Alice. The art and souvenirs are all original and beautiful works by the owner of the shop! You'd love it.
Loving the trinkets you used in your album! Enjoy the party today and YES, put me into your contest to win the charm!
HUGS dear Tristan....oooooh, the ice resin piece is GORGEOUS!

Love your blog and I'm going to buy something beautiful from your shop!! Yes, please add me to your blog followers!

Very talented book!!! Love the details!!!! Thank you for such a fabulous tea!
Hope you will visit me at Plumfield, and I will be following your blog, would love to have you do the same,
This is truly a work of art, a wonderful project, a homage to Lewis Carroll - it must have taken ages in the planning and I cannot even begin to think how long the execution took.
Love the little diecuts of the characters (any chance of letting us know where to get the dies please) and the ice resin pieces you made are truly beautiful.
I adore Alice and anything to do with her so will definitely become a follower in case you do some more Alice themed things or books similar to this on any subject.
Truly wonderful!
