For this reduction plate I really wanted to play with combining things that would normally not go together. I stared with the idea of a center and morphed it by choosing to combine the top half of a woman with the body of a deer. Next I added a flower head, as this is a motif that shows up a lot in my artwork. I also added wings as I wanted to create a fae-like creature.

Alice in wonderlands Mad Tea Party, the march hair is pouring tea between his big floppy ears and its overflowing out of his tiny teacup, onto the saucer of the much larger orange teacup that he's sitting " while the Mad Hatter is sticking his tong out in a tongue and cheek kind of way, while poring his tea down the neck of his green jacket, out his right sleeve and into the giant blue teacup he's sitting in and it's splashing up over the sides of the tea cups. while Alice is looking teary eyed and she's tormenting the Cheshire Cat by dumbing her magically levitating tea all over his pink and purple striped tail.
