cheshire cat and ALICE IN WONDERLAND limited edition paper doll by Megan Wommack thepaperpoppet

Description

Which is worse? To discover it's all been a dream...or to know, for certain, that everything is perfectly true? I remain, since the age of eight or so, thoroughly disgusted with this little tale's ending. "Just a dream"?! Oh, please...like I haven't heard that one before.

At the same age~~about eight~~I had a little toy porcupine that would clip onto an edge of fabric with her little arms (do you remember those?)~~she "lived" on the edge of my bedroom curtain...and at night, lying in bed with the moon sifting through those curtains and making a land of shadows on my floor and bed covers~~at night, I swear to you that my little porcupine girl became a rather large spider. Black, grey, spiky...with glimmering eyes and huge fangs. You could never have convinced me otherwise. And after a few terrible nights, I began to trust that the spider would not bite me...in fact, she seemed to stand sentinel like a strange arachnid angel over my bed.

Alice knows better. The ending of that book is to soothe worried grown-ups and placate stupid children (the sort that would rather watch a bit of nonsense on the television and have all of their ideas neatly presented and packaged for their convenience...). But Alice knows, as do I, that there's a wonderland 'round every corner~~hatters, chessie cats, queens, and guardian spiders... Gentle reader, it's
all

quite

Alice's left arm(s) are interchangeable~~each will swing behind her body on a little metal brad. When she eats the cupcake (no currants for my Alice. Currants are disgusting!), her neck extends~~just swing the little bottle out, and she'll shrink back down to size (you have to pull the little neck tab up and down. I am not quite that cool for everything to move on it's own...). This particular part of the story by Lewis Carroll is written on Alice's dress and around her stand...and that naughty ol' cheshire cat twines around her feet...look at that grin!

Each paper doll is laser copied onto acid-free cardstock from my original *Paper Poppet Prints*, adhered to substantial paper, cut out & jointed with tiny brads. I think our sweet Alice looks quite like a delicate porcelain doll...fragile and ornate. Her clothing is in the antique style~~quite proper, except for the red shoes. (Red shoes are required for fantastic journies!) NOTE: Alice's noggin/neck are not mounted onto another sheet of cardstock~~the allows her to stand as well as making her a bit easier to play with.



measurements are as follows:
Alice is 13"+ high~~she looks lovely on her little stand, or you may mat & frame the duo.

*doll is suggested for adult collectors only!

blessings,
