MINIATURE SCENES

 

Here are some miniature projects that I have made.

 

I always loved reading the Alice stories written by

Lewis Carroll.

I made some minitarue scenes based on those stories.

 

 

 

I call this scene, "Alice's Garden."

It is about Alice visiting the garden of talking flowers from THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS.
It also has some characters from ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND.

Some of the characters in these scenes were recreated
and renamed for my stories in

THE QUEENDOM OF DZITZEL.

 

 

 

Here is the way I think the Mad Hatter would look.His feet are cold. That is why he is wearing ear muffs on one foot.

 

 

 

Did you ever see a flower wearing sun glasses?

 

 

Did you ever see a flower eating a banana
when graduating from school?

 

 

 

Can you find Alice?

She is visiting Humpty Dumpty.

Humpty Dumpty was made into a new character who lives in The Queendom of Dzitzel.

Alice is visiting "The Tree of Meaning."This was not in the Alice stories.I made this part up.

 

 

In this picture you can see the size of the figures by looking at my eye glasses in front of the Mad Hatter's feet.

One of my favorite television programs was a series called --

UPSTAIRS DOWNSTAIRS.

It is a series from Englandand that was first shown in the United States in the l970's.

I loved it so much that I made up my own characters and my own story.
It is about a wealthy family living in England when Queen Victoria was queen of England. The family's name is Wemberlain. For more about their story click on Wemberlain.

Here are 2 scenes that I made.
They represent 2 moments in time.

 

There are five children in the family. They are cared for by a nanny,named Nanny Higgins. In this picture, one of the younger children, Georgine, was very unhappy. Her parents and three older children were taken to a party. Nanny Higgins is comforting Georgine.

Nanny Higgins is comforting Georgine.

 

 

The youngest child, Anne, is sleeping in her cradle.
I crocheted the aphgan blanket using embroidery thread.
This pattern is called "granny squares."

 

 

Preparing for an afternoon tea

The head cook, Mrs. Mabel Bellows is preparing an apple pie with the assistance of kitchen maid,
Violet Wilks.

 

 

 

 


To get an idea about the size of the exhibit, I put a quarter coin on the
table. The quarter is bigger than the kitchen maid's whole hand, and bigger than each apple. The quarter only a little smaller than the bowl of eggs.
