First of all, the necklace in the previous post was for her to match her apron. I was so flattered that she actually wore it to work today...I can't wait to see a photo of her wearing it and the apron...
The apron itself I just played and had fun with...A thread painted pair of legs, A whimsical painted and sewn Alice and a lot of rolled and burnt organza flowers...I didn't use a pattern just kind of let it happen, and the best part? I used remnants of things I had that were left over from other projects!
Here is a close up of the flowers and a tied key...
Now you can see how the necklace ties in....
Also I made a faux Alice cupcake and made up a little bottle of elixer for the "drink me" potion.
I have no idea who my partner is, and I am excited to see what "they" do with this theme...There are a lot of really creative people in this swap! Remember, "we are all mad here!"

Your apron is wonderful. You do such interesting things with your projects. She is a lucky lady to get all the goodies you made for her.
That's the coolest apron I've ever seen!
