Alice Part 5

Hi everyone.
Hope you're having a nice weekend. Mine has been busy as yesterday my husband and I met up with my daughter and went to visit my Mom.

She always loved a nice box of chocolates, and it makes me happy to make her happy.
Today I'm trying to wrap up a few holiday chores.  I have a little wrapping to do and this project to finish.

My husband bought me this kit awhile back and it is time to play.   Ho-Ho-Ho!

The Alice in Christmasland story continues. 

The next 2 pages are basically the story without much art.
If you remember, Alice jumped down off the tea party table to meet the rabbit. He told her that she needed  to see the Queen to help her get back to normal size, and off they went into a castle ornament on the Christmas tree.
So here is where we begin. 

The page reads

"Who comes to see the queen?"

The queen was standing near her throne.

"Its me you majesty. The rabbit. I bring you the girl who we have been hearing about."

Alice made a confused face. This had just happened. 

And how could inanimate things gossip and talk and know things?

"I'm glad you brought me the girl."

The queen said in a loud royal voice. She

meant business.

"Tell me," continued the queen 

"what happened to make you so small girl."

"My name is Alice, not girl." Alice replied.

After she said it, she thought, maybe I

better be nice to the queen so she will help me. 

"I am pleased to meet you girl named Alice.  But answer my question please."

So Alice recounted her story of climbing on the roof and falling down the chimney. 

"Oh you have Santa syndrome." replied the queen.

"I have seen it before. Se we need to take care of this quickly .

Before Christmas Day arrives. Otherwise you

shall have to be so small until next Christmas."

All Alice could picture was being packed away in a box of

Christmas ornaments, not having any food or water,

not having time to play with her friends or being

able to sleep in her bed at night.

And the next page.

And she would miss Mama and Papa and even

Mary. And she would even miss

Chessie, even though Chessie wanted to eat her.
For a second tears welled up in her eyes, but then she asked
"So what do I need to do?"
"Do?" replied the queen. "Do? You don't know what to do
Are you  simpleton? Are you a girl who has no imagination?"
"These humans." the Queen continued.
"They get themselves into trouble
because they don't think through what they are doing
when they do it. I suppose we should go ask the caterpillar, if we can find him."
"This isn't the time of year for caterpillars." Alice mumbled. 
And she looked at the queen.
"Come on. We must run and find him. We must keep running
so we don't get behind. Midnight is fast approaching and 
if we run fast enough we can beat it and
have more time to solve your problem.
If we run fast enough we can make it 10 o'clock again.
And the queen took off, running so fast
she turned into a blur. Then she 
disappeared. Alice stood there.  "Now what do I do?"

So doodled legs show the queen running off.

And then I created this mantel with some photos in their frames on it. I wanted to do something that referred to Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum.

So Alice ran as fast as she could

looking for the Queen of Hearts as she went.

"You better hurry." she heard a voice.

"Go straight ahead." said a voice.

"The queen went in that direction."

Alice looked over at what

she thought should be a photo of

her cousins Anna and Louise.

But instead she saw 2 twin boys.

"What the..." she started to speak.

And when Alice looked again, there were Anna and Louise.

Curiouser and curiouser.

I am linking up to Yvonne's challenge at Art Journal Journey. This month her fun theme is Words and Numbers.

There's a little bit left to the Alice story, a couple more posts. 

Hope you are enjoying it.

And enjoy what's left to your weekend also.

Thanks so much for visiting.
