Alice and her Wonderland



                                          'A Desolate but Beautiful Life' by Alice Rebbeca Potter
                                                                                    (mixed media illustration, March 2010)


Alice is one of my very good friends from Uni, and I have made a post especially for her because she has really inspired me to get a move on my own project.  She doesn't know that, although she will now.


Alice is a textile designer/ maker and illustrator.  She gathers inspiration from rural and urban landscapes, she has a particular love for forests and mountains, her works comes together in drawings and collages.  Her fresh and witty approach make every piece delightful.
When looking at her portfolio I really get a sense of a this land she has constructed, it is child-like but there is something quite 'desolate' about her work.  It's nostalgic and it's honest.


She currently sells some of her pieces at ENVELOP and be sure to check out her ETSY shop were she sells greeting cards handmade by her mum. (how sweet is that!?)
