Alice and the White RabbitAlice and the White Rabbit

This is the top of the tree scene.  Here, Alice has seen the White Rabbit run past, and startled, rises to pursue.  He is passing through the garden gate, on his way to his hole.  Alice is 5½" tall, and the White Rabbit is 3½" tall. In this part of the scene, the White Rabbit is dressed in his daily suit, and carries a pocket watch, and umbrella. Both figures are Sculpey.

These characters weren't in the Wonderland story, but the museum wanted them on the scene, anyway.  They are about 5" tall and are sold in pairs.

The Card GardenerThe Card Gardener

The figure is made of paper clay, and is of one of the original, classic illustrations. The roses are of Sculpey.  The bush and base were created by Bill Lankford. The figure is 5½" tall, and the base is 6"x7".  In the story, the gardeners had accidentally planted white rose bushes, and were having to paint them red, to suit the queen.

 

 

Queen of HeartsQueen of Hearts

This is where the largest display is found, on the base of the tree scene. The Queen stands in the pathway, pointing and shouting, "Off with her head!!", much to the consternation of Alice and the White Rabbit, who is now in his royal finery, blowing the trumpet.  Behind the Queen, one guard (card) stands, mimicking her, while, another guard stands by the door and hides his mirth behind his hand. Alice is holding a flamingo under one arm (he is her mallet), while one card gardener bends backwards to be a wicket, for the running hedgehog ball. Two other card gardeners are painting the roses, and arguing over getting paint on each other. The Queen is about 5¾" tall, the gardeners about 5½". All figures are Sculpey.
