"The dream-child moving through a land Of wonders wild and new... And half believe it true." Lewis Carroll Ruby was reading a silly old book....

Where ever had she gotten this dress? Red Queen 1l by kathelslionheart, on Flickr "Marianne, bring me my tea" said the Queen...for, she MUST be THE Queen!! Red Queen 1i by kathelslionheart, on Flickr The nursemaid kept trying to hand the sleeping baby to the duchess... Red Queen 1d by kathelslionheart, on Flickr But the little demon wouldn't stay still! Red Queen 1c by kathelslionheart, on Flickr The Hatter seemed quite astounded with all the company at his table.

Red Queen 1m by kathelslionheart, on Flickr Curiouser & curiouser thought Ruby... Red Queen 1j by kathelslionheart, on Flickr "I do hope they'll find me a seat soon" "But I don’t want to go among mad people," Alice remarked. "Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad." "How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.” ― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

Fantastic! Love the photos and story and it so captures the spirit of the original! Cthulhu certainly adds to the wonderfully surreal madness!
Thanks Julie! For all of the Alice stuff that has been done, it is always fun to think of yet another way to play with the outrageous creativity that Louis Carroll gave to us with his books.
Wonderful photoshoot. That amigurumi cthulhu surprised me! What a beautiful assemblage you have of both dolls and props.
Thank you sakuraharu! I always loved the silliness of the baby that kept turning into a pig. And, having a cthulhu handy, it seemed fitting. I am indeed quite fortunate in the dolls who have found me.
Love it I'm a fan of Alice too. I love how you set up the scene and the little teapots are really cute XD
What did Ruby have to eat that day before she dozed off? I love your Cyndy; I'm a fan of Evenstar face-ups, and she's a treasure. The lit candles impart a lovely glow to the scene!
Oh wow, I hadn't thought to check in lately. I'm so glad you all have enjoyed the photos! Ms beamlette, Ruby did have quite the dream didn't she?!?! More than simply a treasure, my Cyndy was a gift!?!?!? So an unexpected, well appreciated treasure indeed. I am glad we finally figured out how to create some candles as the candle glow & melted wax on the unlit candles really adds to the photos.
I just love your photo story! And ofcourse I ended up with doll-envy.....Lovely dolls, lovely photos!!
