correction, the one for $123 and $179 are not even accurate. Cheapest CORRECT one is over $200 without a lid and almost $400 with!

You could either drop it, or play piggy bank with it.

First coat of spray on dye completed. Pictures make it come out to be much greener. I will be applying another layer of antique tan and wipe it down quick to get the dye into the holes.
Teapot
Painting the roses GREEN? :confused
My son: CALVIN
My daughter: CORDIE (Cordelia)
I added the first layer of wax sealer when I realized I should go a little bit browner. Removed the wax and now the leather is drying!!! :confusedI want to match the color closer to the brim pieces.
The Mad Hatter camouflage!
Color is not a good representation under incandescent bulbs at 2:00am!!
Next?
Finish to top, stain, just bought some leather grade needles, sew in the gold thread (my first time at a sewing machine!), and construction!!!

Looks AMAZING! We all need to invest in some sweet cameras to capture the colours of our beautiful costumes! I hate how flash makes it vary so much. But it looks like it's FANTASTIC in person. Beautiful blending and I love the customization with the hidden significant items. Billion thumbs up!!!

I'm completely blown away by your work on this costume. It's amazing seeing you build this all up from scratch. Do you have a lot of experience in scratch-building costumes? That hat is coming along great! Also, it's so cool to see this happen before the movie has even come out.

Re: My Mad Hatter Thread - W. I. P. Coat! Coat! Coat! 03-05-10
Boy! Pulling all nighters and going to work the next day for 8 hours just for a costume!!! Ugh this is bordering on obsessive costuming disorder!!!
The hat is done and on the drying rack. Barge glue needs to set over night so I didn't touch the thing and I don't have pictures. Pics of the entire ensemble Sat night!!!
Coat is 95% completed. The liner is being added as well as the upper part of the collar. I won't have time to distress it but that will happen after the fact. The coat is being finished as we speak and being hand delivered this evening. Thanks Gelfling Gal!!! Truly "HOT off the presses!"
I love how the coat changes color from light to dark when hit with bright light!
What is left to do: (Sorry this is my To Do list and what a better place to create it!)
1. Finish gloves
2. Create white thumb bandage
3. Create 10/6 for hat
4. Trim down the wig and respray with hair spray yet again.
5. Sew buttons onto coat.
6. Pray I know how to apply the makeup. I didn't even get to do a trial run!!!!
7. Eventually redo design on pants. Replace the red leaf with two swirls!
8. Distress all parts AFTER the premiere!!

Let it begin!!! I did the make up in 30 minutes because let's just say the coat and gloves were finished in record time 1 1/2 hours before we were supposed to leave. So please excuse the makeup. It gets worse throughout the evening!!:lol
Again thanks to Gelfling Gal /\ for her incredible work!!! While watching the movie all I could do was stare at the coat and think about mine and how every detail in the design, panels, pleats are so spot on!!!
I hope to do another event in about five weeks and have already started the nitpicking detailed changes on my costume!!! Starting with making eyebrows!
After seeing the "hero" costume up close and in person the nitpicking is truly going to drive me MAD!!!
Time for tea!
Outdoor shots before we left for the El Cap event!
Trying to recreate the poster! It is just difficult to find large mushrooms in Long Beach, CA although I did find some at the Hot Topic!
Futterwacken!! Hey it's Long Beach, savvy!
It was a rather blustery day for us on Saturday. It poured cats and dogs later on that evening as you will see. All those security guys and electrical technicians getting ready for the Oscars on Hollywood Blvd getting wet!
I wished I had known the wind was blowing and the pleats were blowing around. I would have loved to recreated the running movie poster look!
You have arrived!
El Capitan Marquee! Because of the bloody Oscars we couldn't get a good shot form the front until later!
I have a VIH ticket for Very Important Hatter!
Close up.... a little to close! Pardon our makeup as we are still under construction!
Can you say HERO!? Lo res for now to tease you guys! Hi res as soon as I set up the shared folder link!!!
Presenting the El Capitan organist!
Painting so really large roses..........
Oh yes! What we have been waiting for...
Swords, knives, and daggers OH MY!!! Shout out to Sword and Stone! I think me mate Charlie said they could make you a MH two handed sword for about.........oh............$8000.00.:eek
Time for tea props!
My seat under glass! Get it to the tea party now!
Good day to meet you Mr. ACME! Futterwacken?
Meet up with "the crew!"
At the Soda Fountain store! Time for tea?
At the Hot Topic! Please keep of the chairs I was told!
And finally the parting shot!! The El Capitan Marque from the second floor of Hollywood and Highland!
I can't wait for the next event! Captain Jack Sparrow? Who's that? Mad Hatter is my newest favorite character!!!!
What's next? The costume needs many tweeks and fixes! Back to work!
