THE ALTERED ALICE BLOG CHALLENGE - CHAPTER 20- TWINKLE LIKE A BAT, SHINE LIKE A TEA TRAY



The Altered Alice Blog is a blog that would be on a list called
my "Top Ten Favourite Blogs".
If you have not visited this blog...I strongly urge you to take
a look.  I have been enjoying myself very much by entering
the challenges.  Take a chance, you may want to enter the
next challenge!

Every month the blog features a challenge that is inspired by
Alice in Wonderland.

Here is the link for challenge this month:  http://alteredalice.blogspot.ca/2012/10/week-3-chapter-20-twinkle-like-bat.html.

This month, blog readers were challenged to make a project
that Just like the Mad Hatter's song,  twinkles or shines, with bats being optional.



My project features a Mini Drama contained in 3 Frames.


MINI DRAMA
THE QUEEN OF HEARTS
CASTS A SPELL ON WONDERLAND.


FRAME 1:  - WONDERLAND IS DRAB AND DREARY

The Queen of Hearts was very, very unhappy one day and decided to
cast a spell on Wonderland so that it would match her mood.  She made
everything and everyone look and feel the way she did by allowing only
the colours Drab Brown and Dreary Beige to be part of their wardrobe.
Alice, who loved her blue wardrobe argued with the Queen and asked
her to undo the spell. 

 
 
FRAME 2: -  THE QUEEN TURNS EVERYONE INTO A PACK OF CARDS
 
The Queen, did not like anyone to disagree with her and decided to let Alice think
she would reverse the spell. 
"Okay Alice", said the Queen,  "I will bring back the the colourful world
you like so much".  She waved her royal hands in the air and chanted
something that Alice did not understand.
Soon everything in Wonderland was back to normal.  The people and things
were, once again, wonderful and colourful.
 
The only thing was...EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING
WAS TURNED INTO A PACK OF PLAYING CARDS!
 
 
 
 
 
FRAME 3: - ALICE MAKES EVERYTHING SPARKLE AND SHINE
 
Alice, who had jumped backwards when the Queen cast this last spell,
was spared from its effects.  She knew she had to help put Wonderland
back to normal (well...as normal as Wonderland could be).  She
remembered a story that the Cheshire Cat had told her about an
Enchanted Pumpkin Patch.  She gathered up all of the playing cards
she could see, and put them into a wheelbarrow to transport them to
this special pumpkin patch.  When she arrived there, she was not
sure what to do, but decided that she needed to plant each card in
a separate spot in the patch. 
 
After she had finished planting the cards, she was very tired and so
she took a nap, with her head resting against one of the pumpkins.
After a little while, she was awakened by sounds of laughter and singing.
It was now dark, although the moon was bright that night and
illuminated everything around her.
 
She sat up and looked around in wonder.  Then she jumped up,
clapping her hands and joining in the fun.  All around her, she could
see that each of the cards had been turned into a special pumpkin.
 
What emerged from the pumpkins was Amazing. 
 
Not only were the people and things back to their normal  and
colourful states...
 
But, even better than that...Everyone had beautiful crystals attached to them that Sparkled and Shone in the moonlight!
