Off With Their Heads I Say, Off with their heads!! - in the Spirit of today's Mad Tea Party!!
Here is a few heads that I've sculpted in the wee hour of midnight the night before the tea party (maybe I should have slept instead!). Except for the white one - that belongs to yesterday's post I just got in the spirit and took her head off her body.
Rinni's Playground - Misadventures in Art and Life
Now for my tribute - since today is the Mad Tea Party Blogging Party - I thought it fitting to share pictures of the crafts that my sister, I, my husband Brandon, Gosia and Justin made for my wedding that just took place last month on May 7th.
So sorry you're late!...for what was our very memorable date!
...Be Drawn through the looking glass...to a wedding wonderland of glee...
Do come find your key....hung with hat pins by me.
To the much awaited day....I'll squeeze through the door...
To such eat me and drink me galore!
We'll follow a mischievous kitty - made by my beloved sister Rinni...
To meet my Madd Hatter...
To the sounds of croquet balls ... click, clack and clatter?
With many a mushroom plumped and stuffed along the way....
We can enjoy our tea all through out the day.
While the caterpillar huffs and puffs...
We can rest and relax a while ....
--------------------------------
Thank you for visiting! - and sharing in my special day - I'm still reeling from the magic of it. I hope you enjoyed the shots of all the things my family and I created for our wedding.

You obviously give your sister too much credit and yourself not enough. Your post and the pictures were so marvelous that only a true artist of the finest caliber could ever create such a thing. The cake topper was just divine! Well, maybe divine isn't the appropriate word, but whatever it was, it was! Thank you so much for sharing your special day with us. You obviously married a wonderful guy, someone who would join in such fun festivities! Congratulations!
Thank you for visiting me! I guess you found me even though I left an incorrect blog address. I wanted to come back and correct it in case you need to get a hold of me in the future (I Hope).

So sorry I am late
For this important date.
I'm still making my way down the list.
With too little time
I'm leaving this rhyme
For I'm adamant about wanting to persist.
All this running about
Has left me dry in the mouth.
Might I have a cup of tea?
You and your Mad Hatter
and your wedding decor
are such a pleasure to see
Oh my, the time
It goes so fast
I must be on my way
But fear not friend
I shall return
Please……Have a beautiful day.
Oooh, what a romantic tea this was! Everything is so beautiful and I love your gown!
Delightfully intoxicating. Best wishes!!!
