Drink Me Wall Art

Description

"There seemed to be no use in waiting by the little door, so she went back to the table, half hoping she might find another key on it, or at any rate a book of rules for shutting people up like telescopes: this time she found a little bottle on it, (`which certainly was not here before,' said Alice,) and round the neck of the bottle was a paper label, with the words `DRINK ME' beautifully printed on it in large letters."

Illustration by John Tenniel from the book “Alice in Wonderland” by Lewis Carroll.

Design is an image transfer onto fabric. A layer of cotton batting is added under the design and then stretched into a wooden hoop frame. I stained the frame with black stain. The edges are a bit darker than the sides. You can see the wood grain on the side of the frame.

The text is also an image transfer onto fabric. It has been layered between two pieces of clear glass along with a cardstock backing and inserted into a black patina colored frame. I attached the frame to the main piece with embroidery floss. A black grossgrain ribbon bow is affixed to the upper loop of the frame.

The hoop is 7 3/8 inches - 18.73cm in diameter.
The metal frame is 3 inch x 1 inch (7.62cm x 2.54cm).

Any light colored spots are not defects but simply reflection.

I must ship this item in a box due the glass. At the moment I only have access to USPS Priority Mail boxes. This item must ship Priority Mail. International customers: Actual value will be declared. Priority mail is the only shipping option available.
