"Alice in Wonderland"

This week’s Sunday Postcard Art challenge was “Alice in Wonderland.” I never read the book, so my knowledge about the story was very limited. My postcard shows the scene where Alice meets the caterpillar sitting on the mushroom, smoking a hookah. I created a background to convey the idea that she’s in some bizarre world, and not our normal one.

Technical notes to myself: This week I used 128 pixels/inch for the image. The image looks larger, but it still prints out as a 4x6 inch image. I’m used to working with it as a 96 pixels/inch image, so I’m going to go back to that.
