The Alice Liddell in Alice: Madness Returns isn’t the one you’re used to seeing from the animated Disney film. She’s in Wonderland, but she’s fighting evil forces instead of eating cute foods. Juriet made a pretty faithful take on the character’s costume. She made the outfit and Alice’s weapons including the fierce hobby horse and vorpal blade. The hobby horse staff has glowing green eyes.
The base of the horse staff is cardboard covered in expanding foam. Juriet says she learned if she sprayed water on the foam, it made the substance fluffier. The head was then covered in paper mache and then putty to make the surface smooth. You can see a photo of the initial step below.

Here are some resources for voting by mail, voting in person, and some NY resources for our NY based teams as well. If there are additional resources to add, please let us know – adafruit.com/vote
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
