The Hatter in Love - an Ethical Taxidermy art piece by Kelly

I create a lot of Hatters, both taxidermy and sculpture art dolls, and I love the Tenniel costume from the original illustrations. This time I wanted to bring in some of those details, but create a costume that was still quite madly showy, as the Hatter is, but also bring in another idea, that the Hatter is a great romantic. And so the Hatter with love-hearts this time, with lovely striped pantaloons and a vintage piece of gold silk for his frock coat, all set off with red trimmings and a red velvet top hat. Of course he still has his hat label, and also his tiny teacup, this time on a chain from his waist. This time in his paws he has a tiny fork for eating cake, and a little cherry topped biscuit I sculpted buy for him... has he a crush on the Queen ... a secret love ... or simply the love of tea and cake?! All my mice have a wool dressed tail in a complementary colour to the costume.

About Me, Kelly...
I am a Sculptor of all sorts of things... silver and clay jewellery, art dolls, mixed media and fabric collectables.... basically if I can work it out in 3D I will have a play! I am also an Ethical taxidermist, and Textile Artist. The themes of my work are always fantasy, folklore, whimsy and the delightful things that held us captivated as children... although sometimes rather dark and Gothic also. If you love Folklore and Faerie Lore you can find me on YouTube on my channel Tales of Fey and Folk where I narrate tales and stories gathered from folk and fairy lore. I create from high on a mountain-side in Southern Spain surrounded by trees and wilderness, immersed in nature and rather in a world of my own. I hope I bring some magic in all the pieces I create to those who kindly give homes to my pieces of art :)
