~ADORNMENTS & ALICE IN WONDERLAND



  

Tonight I'm making some whimsically lovely earbobs while watching the 2010 version of Alice in Wonderland on the telly.

What a scrumptious feast of creative inspiration is found in this flick.  Enjoy these tidbits from the silver screen...

 Here is a video in which Johnny Depp discusses his transformation into The Mad Hatter.  He also talks about actual hatters (milliners); in the past, the glue they used to construct hats contained mercury, and inhaling its fumes caused them to become, well, mad as hatters.

  

Here is a still from the movie of Alice painting the roses red...

Here is a photion from the same scene in the 1951 version of the film...

And here is a video of the 1951 version of the scene (on youtube).

Painting the roses red

We're painting the roses red

We dare not stop

Or waste a drop

So let the paint be spread

We're painting the roses red

We're painting the roses red

Oh, painting the roses red

And many a tear we shed

Because we know

They'll cease to grow

In fact, they'll soon be dead

And yet we go ahead

Painting the roses red

Painting the roses red

We're painting the roses red

Oh, pardon me

But Mister Three

Why must you paint them red?

*talking*

Huh? Oh! Well, the fact is, Miss

We planted the white roses by mistake

And...

*singing*

The Queen she likes 'em red

If she saw white instead

She'd raise a fuss

And each of us

Would quickly lose his head

[Alice:Goodness!]

Since this is the part we dread

We're painting the roses red

[Alice:Oh, Dear! Then let me help you]

Painting the roses red

We're painting the roses red

Don't tell the Queen what you have seen

Or say that's what we said

But we're painting the roses red

Yes, painting the roses red

Not pink

Not green

Not aquamarine

We're painting the roses red!
