Here is a closer view of the 5 inch tall mad hatter in straight jacket.  He is an original, one of a kind sculpture...part polymer - part soft sculpture, and therefore semi-poseable.

Did you know - and you probably do - that in the late 19th and early 20th century, hatters used lead in the process of making the felt that they used to cover their hats? Over time, this lead got into their blood stream, causing gradual dementia. Hence the expression 'as mad as a hatter'.

It is thought that it was the lead in their pipes that eventually drove the Romans mad, and caused their downfall. The word 'plumbing' comes from the Latin 'plumbus' meaning lead.

Hehe, I'll stop now. Sorry 1

BTW great sculpture!

actually i think it was mercury that drove hatters mad... and since when did the romans all go mad? :-S

but anyway... i love ALL your sculptures, they really are amazing, even if this one is a little scary lol.

Anonymous actually knows what he is talking about; I’ve read about both mercury and lead being the poison. And some historians do theorize that one of the causes of the fall of the Roman Empire was lead poisoning--they had a drink they were rather obsessed with called Milk of Lead or some such name.

Anyway, about the picture.... I think that your interpretations of each character are wonderful! The Cheshire Cat and the Mad Hatter are both so intense!
