Alice In Wonderland Cup
The common theme for all of my cups is that they draw inspiration from Alice In Wonderland
The History of Alice in Wonderland:
The book was originally written by Lewis Carroll but fun fact that name was actually a pseudonym that Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson used. The story was first told in 1862 and was then written down and published in 1865. it has since then been made into numerous movie adaptations. most of my inspiration comes from the Disney adaptation of this book which was released in 1951.
This is the Last cup I made. It is inspired by the cards Alice in Wonderland(I have provided the inspiration)
Inside the Cup there is written "Drink me" a reference from the magic potion that Alice drinks in the beginning of the film.
Cheshire Cat
The next cup I made is inspired by the Cheshire Cat from Alice in wonderland with the highlight being the smile. This cup was really difficult for me because until it came out of the kiln after being fully completed I hated this cup. So this cup was actually the last one I finished because I didn't like it I couldn't find the energy to finish it. The inside of the cup is fully black except for a harrowing smile which is supposed to play tribute to the smile that is left after the cat disappears.
The White Rabbit and His Clocks
The next cup in this series is the White Rabbit cup which draws inspiration from the white rabbit character in Alice in Wonderland. For this cup I decided to make the rabbits face into a clock to
This hat was inspired by the mad Hatters hat and it is what started this whole collection because I wanted to make a cup that was shaped like a hat but the collection needed a theme so I thought of every character that wears a hat and stumbled upon in my mind on Alice in wonderland
I did choose not to include the piece of paper in the hat because I didn't like the way it looked and felt that it took away the focus from the hat shaped cup which was what I was trying to highlight.
