Mad Hatter Tea Party 4

Now this I loved , this  funky candle holder I got from Goodwill, and a metal candelabra style candle holder that fit into the ceramic candle holder.  I bought a pair  of the metal candelabra  ones at a yard sale. I put these together to make it  -- Mad Hatter perfect, so I just added flowers.

The guest of honor place setting. Blue willow vintage dishware, and coffee cup, single vintage red carnival glass sugar, with DIY rose water sugar cubes, quotes place cards, a special card deck paper flower, and special gift. All printed, and cut out by hand.  Limited edition Alice in Wonderland nail polish was the special gift. Matching the colors from the Movie with Jonny Depp playing the Mad Hatter.

Mad Hatter Tea Party , "2015 " DIY and Collectables - Photo's

These are items that I collected or DIY made.  For My Mad Hatter Tea Party. It took 2 months to prepare for this. It was a great undertaking by myself for the most part. But worth every minute.  This is the first of several blogs i did to show The results. The Bottle is one I saved back, and hand painted some flowers on.

This White Queen I found at Goodwill along with the other chess pieces. It must of been a patio chess set. they were  hand made possible too. They are made of ceramic.

These chess pieces I repainted a bit to match my theme.

Lewis Carroll, I found this tiny frame at a yard sale, I printed his photo off the internet.

The Red Queen also had some paint and the quote card I printed out as well along with many others for my table

This pretty paper flower and card I made. The cards can be printed of the computer I just searched for images I likes that fit my theme.

This is my rabbit hole. On the wooded trail there were lots of trees so we took branches formed a circle shape between two  trees along the path so you had to walk through to continue the journey. I marked it with print outs as well the entire trail is marked with cards before this rabbit hole. After you walk threw its all flowers fantasy flowers I made.

This is the arrow that points you threw the rabbit hole

This set  a bit past he entrance of the rabbit hole after you went through it marked a comer of to he trail.  I made both items here. The little door was a piece of wood I had already. I added a drawer pull I found at a shop. The potion bottle I had I just decorated it. The Quote card I  I used quote from the book.

This is the first direction when you enter the path at the very beginning of this adventure. Total trail length !/4 mile of wooded trail.   I printed this off the internet too.

A lovely hand made paper flower, I used buttons for the centers on all of them  

Here is a tube full of my flowers I think I made close to 200

Lots of beautiful paper flowers

I really loved these they came out spectacular. You can find DIY instructions on the internet , Pinterest, or even by print out kits on Esty, I got one.

PHOTO OF BIGFOOT BY ACCIDENT

Went looking for shed elk horns in the mountains this last week end, I found some but they were in use for the moment. LOL !  So I took a photo. When reviewing I found some interesting beings in the back ground . Bigfoot. To my surprise. I was not expecting it. Although I have other photos. I was really not looking to photograph them that  day. Some time I'll post some of my best photos of the wild tribe.. Just thought I would share. I did get a new ghostly image photo on the trip.

Fairytales VS Real Fairys

So let's start at the beginning. Fact turns to lore, then legend, then Myth. If one takes the time to back track all Myth has a factual beginning of some sort.

As a child I read all the classics author's Lewis carol, CS Lewis, Tolkien, children's story's like Bambi, ect. Then movies oh the movies; Mid Summer's Night Dream,(good old Shakespeare), Willow, The Dark Crystal, Legend,and many more. 

.

The beings, Fairy's  and other creatures, are just like what I'm seeing and taking photos of. I get a glimpse of movement, and I center my video camera or camera on that area and get film. I could not believe the similarities, of what I see in photos to those in movies and old stories. At first I was dumb founded, I new no one would believe me. I also new I could not keep this to myself. The knowing gives me such a relief. I always new it was real.

 I was a wild wood child spent most of my days alone out doors in the woods playing with what ever came my way. So I had real life experience in strange, and usual sightings. My first Sasquatch person sightings  , I was 9 years old. Yep. 

 All the photos are untouched other than cropped out of my larger image, or brighten up so more details can be seen. Some are harder to see as I really cropped them so viewing would be easier. When I have room I  will put  the untouched image with cropped out piece together so you can see image  in total.

So think about those sketches,  and images in those fantasy movies & books. When you look at the  current photos &  future ones I think you will be surprised.

I was. A side note: The method I use to photograph these beings is  unconventional. I was schooled in photography, but I moved out of that box and experimented until I found a way through the dimensional veils.  Make know mistake this is not easy to get any viewable images. I feel blessed with what I've achieved so far. I continue to photograph.

Real Fairy Photos

 Solitary Fairy's

A tiny fae that graced me while I sat, and waited for some company . The little dear was on the tree limb for some time. The pink object manifested, and he floated / flew away.

This Solitary Fairy peaked at me for some time did not do anything  --  just peaked.

This cutie  I found in a still shot I took there are 

other shadow figure's  around her it looks like.

Last I chose this photo  I took with my night vision camera, I 'm

guessing a solitary fairy although he looks like a gnome from a fairytale. In my next blog  post it will look at fairy tales, and what I've see,  and how I think it all  comes full circle.
