Further Down The Rabbit Hole

Returning to Ebru Wonderland

The second time round, she came across a low curtain she had not noticed before, and behind it was a little door.

"You may call it 'nonsense' if you like," she said, "but I've heard nonsense, compared with which that would be as sensible as a dictionary!"

There are a ton of great pieces from the Ebru Wonderland project. The lovely psychedelic whimsy of the ebru art seems to lend new life to these recycled book pages of classic illustrations and the timeless tales of Alice's adventures in Wonderland.

It's my own invention.

But how does one get to ebru wonderland?

Well one day while looking over my book shelf, I noticed that I had 4 copies of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. So I asked myself, "self, do you need 4 copies of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass?" It was then that the conclusion was reached to disassemble one of the books and re-use the paper for ebru.

A large rose-tree stood near the entrance of the garden; the roses growing on it were white, but there were three gardeners at it, busily painting them red.

All this time the guard was looking at her, first through a telescope, then through a microscope, and then through an opera glass.
