Chrissy, you MUST have been an exceptionally GOOD girl this year for Santa to have brought you such wonderful gifts – I drool over the card set – WOW! And Alice has been with me all of my life – first book read to me over and over by my mum and I have most of the various editions published. Alice has affected my art, writings and yes, my choice of partners over the years. Enjoy your gifts.
I think so! Alice is dear to me too. I have several editions as well and this was one I really wanted.. Now I’ve got the original, Rackham’s, Michael Hague’s, and this one. The one I’d still like to get is a Mervyn Peake version. His illustrations are brilliant.
I love the artistry of the Alice in Wonderland themed drawings. It really stretches reality, making it abstract, interesting to look at. I especially love those cards in the middle…definitely inspiring. You have interesting and thought provoking tastes
Thank you for your lovely comments! Yes, Alice has a dream like surrealism that is fun to see interpreted in so many ways.
