impromptu tea party v.2

impromptu tea party

based on

alice in wonderland and looking through the glass

by lewis carroll and tim burton

a book by

colette wibisono

upon a visit to a friend's house, we decided to play dress up... wonderlanding major style;  impromptu without much thinking and preparation, picking up what's in the closet.

here's the second version i made.  the first—more fun, less pages—is almost but never quite done yet.

love...love...that giant spider,

 this tome has 18 signatures 64 pages all in all.  the spine is about 4" thick.  it's a solid binding.

   

    

the potion bottle, cheshire and the tree....

that little heart locket opens to a mini tiny tweedles pop-up.

 opening title...

this window opens to a tunnel of see through pages.

i intended to make this like a storybook in it's own right, so i used real pages from disney's alice in wonderland based on tim burton's sceenplay.

half of the tome is either full page photos, double spread photos or chapters and pages from the storybook. 

just have to include this flying cards based on robert sabuda's version.

all quotes are based on the movie.

the end credits—even.

travelogue

around the world collection by k & company wasn't expected.  at first i thought it's a beach theme collection.  i wanted to do a small luggage album.  loving the full release, i needed a bigger room to fit everything.

it was run as classes for msi.

first in bandung,

then jakarta,

surabaya,

back to jakarta.

tutorial
a detailed tutorial of more than 60 pages and close to 300 photos is available on my etsy: travelogue.  thanking everyone for the interest.

fun world carousel

the moment i saw funhouse collection from g.c.d. studios, one certainty came to mind: a circular tent carousel album...finally.

as it turns out, hiding a 3 inch spine was effortless.

grace of msi asked if i would do a class for surabaya and agreed to bring in funhouse as one of the projects, might as well.

enjoy the show....

i had to borrow moira's pictures for the class sample album.  my version has a more ambitious title; the greatest show on earth.  it's photoless completed.  sitting nicely waiting for me to scan old pictures from 8 different albums piling on my study floor.

surabaya ladies

jakarta ladies again

the carousel hit most views, bookmarked and liked on two peas gallery  august 8, 2011.

life in toronto

when i bought the whole set of webster's pages wonderfall collection with a friend last year, i told her we were going to do a 6" x 12" album.  i was sure then that i was going to do a four seasons theme books.  time passed...the stash wasn't forgotten, just put aside.

a few weeks ago, i saw my lovely niece's photo album on facebook.  she called it life in toronto.  immediately, i snatched a few pictures from the album and sent for my wonderfall stash.  i knew what i wanted to do that night; the big bang theory season 3 and life in toronto.

the sign board is still missing a couple of elements, still on their way.  the roof—the medusa roof—is rather overdone for my liking, but what's done is done.

tara is coming home next week for a short summer break and  i was going to surprised her with the gift.  i ended up telling her about this when i asked her for the better quality images.  last week i saw she made a scrap page version of life in toronto.

yeeees...it's a gazebo explotion box!

 i figured that the inside wall should be able to stand alone.

in the beginning i placed a standing easel with a canvas in the middle.  beautiful; but has nothing to do with tara.  then i thought of a piano; nothing to do with her life in toronto.  i ordered a gazebo with a switchable lamp post from ebay; a tad too bulky.  

i finally settled with the fountain of happiness...ha!

i'll keep it dear to my heart until her safe return.
