SBS: Alice and The Mad Hatter​

by Daniele "Found" Trovato


Helloooo


So happy today.
I'm introduce you my last sculpture. My personal interpretation of Alice.

​

The Challenge

Every time I start a sculpture I always feel a feeling of unpreparedness and doubt.
I never know where I will arrive with the sculpture.

​

​

Sculpting, at least for me, is not a linear process but is a continuous challenge of creativity, technique and interpretation.

Especially when the subject is Alice in Wonderland, things get tough and difficult.



I started looking for all sorts of references around the internet, bought books, reread the novel (I swear I really did) and collected photos of girls, cats, rabbits and hats.

​

​

The more references you have, the more accurate will be your work.

It was a real challenge.

The idea

​

As a joke I played with some clay....

​

The first rough sketch in NSP Chavant​

​

Firstly I sculpted a very very fast sketch with some plasticine (I love Chavant medium NSP).
Nothing difficult just followed my inspiration and playing with the clay.

Just to formalizing the idea.


After that I started to sculpt Alice ,

​

​

​

Started to create The Cheshire Cat with some Super Sculpey Original Blend -> baked -> some FIMO+Beesputty (50-50) .​

Sometimes I add some mix quick to make the clay more sticky.​

​

​

Joking with my little weird cat​

​

​

​

​

​

​

After that I started also to work on Alice.​

​

​

​

I love to sculpt the head separately because is the most important part and this allows me to focus myself​

​

​

​

​

​

Nothing definitive. Just Trying and testing.​

​

​

For the body, I did the same process as the cat. I use Fimo Liquid to attach some fresh clay on the clay previously baked.​

​

​

Before the details I have to "feel" the direction is ok.​

​

​

Testing with the Cat. I changed the Alice's face almost 20 times.​

​

​

​

Created the body for the Mad Hatter and put all things together just to see all the composition.​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

Sculpted the hand of the Mad Hatter with the WhiteRabbit separately​

​

​

White rabbit...so little and tiny.​

​

​

​

I use often my handmade tool to create some little sausage of clay (it is a piece of plasticglass because it allows me to see the sausage meanwhile I'm creating it)​

​

​

The clock for the little rabbit​

​

​

​

I wanted to create not a perfect symmetric character. Something little weird.​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

Working on the details on Alice.​

​

​

Put the Rabbit with the Mad Hatter​

​

​

​

The hands are always difficult to sculpt, at least for me​

​

​

​

To sculpt the hat I used a little piece of aluminum paper with some clay on it​

​

​

A little hole on the Mad Hatter's head.​

​

​

aaaahahahhahahaha Mad time here​
