Alice has gone through the looking glass, but when she returns the glass is broken, and she is forever trapped in Wonderland Asylum.
This is my favorite piece so far.  It is done in 1:12 or 1 inch scale (1 inch = 1 foot)  All the characters were created from polymer clay.  Cheshire and the March Hare are only about 2 and a half to three inches long and have fur too!  The 5 inch tall Mad Hatter is wearing a tiny linen straight jacket that  I had to create working metal buckles for, because they needed to be so small.  There are many tiny details like a hand painted picture of the cheshire cat on an easel, a ooak hand sculpted and painted cup and saucer,  handsculpted fireplace,  whimsical clock, etc..  The inside of the shadow box is decorated complete with harlequin floor tile, and distressed walls. 
I even wrote a poem, in the spirit of Alice in Wonderland, to go with the piece.

0.0 wow, if I tried making something like that they’d have to end up puting me in an asylum... how do you have that kind of patience? Brilliant!

Michelle,
Not to seem self centered or anything but this truly honors me. Alice in wonderland takes up half my heart and therefor half my life. I am an art student at Tyler in Philly and am gifted in anatomy. I never gave sculpture a second thought but your work is truly amazing and very different from anything I have ever seen before. I cant wait to take a sculpting class! Thank you infinitely for your inspiration. Please, if you don’t mind, tell me how you got started in this style of art?

I love Alice! I guess I like how she’s a brunette with like pink and black striped socks and everything. This is pretty cool, and creepy (the old man is really creepy), but I love it.

Good grief! Is there any better sculpture with such great taste? Not that I know of!
