Chair is chopped, scaled to stretch higher, and color changed with hue/sat tool to purples. Big chest is scaled and liquify warped then duplicated. The duplicate is color changed, then the mirror cut out, then duplicate is put over original warped chest. Next the stand is also liquify warped, scaled and color changed.

Tree is made into background now by erasing out the doorway in an uneven manner. An edge to show tree thickness is brushed in and shaded with burn tool. Tree will be widened later with the clone tool onto a larger canvas in order to add Alice.

Wood pattern from source has been added for wall covering and the dotted pattern has been used for the floor. They will both be color changed then a little border added around the floor using a brush tool.

Now the furniture is added inside the tree by layering them behind the tree. They overlap the sides of the doorway to make the room look larger.

Since this will be the home of the March Hare, a rabbit and hat have been added to the frame from the source - after changing frame to green. This is then scaled down and layered behind the furniture.

I first thought of doing Alice standing and looking down. This I leave in to show how ideas change often as you go along.

Here Alice is drawn in with brush tool in a kneeling position. This seemed to work better because she will be larger than I could have made her standing.

Another table is made from source table and changed to purple. This has short legs for in the foreground. A bottle is shaped with brush tool and has had blue brushed over it ready to trim, size and shape. Later it will be made even larger to read better by the viewer. With text tool, 'Drink Me' is added using Zelda 30 point lettering.
