Description
Carved from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, pre-1950!
This whimsical and imperfectly perfect paper sculpture is handmade and captured inside a glass cloche, it is 19cm tall. It uses the original illustration of the caterpillar from the book and the mushrooms are carved from the depth of the book to fit into the scale of the illustration.
When I make my Secret Vintage Booksafes I try not to waste any of the paper i carve out and re-use it to make these endearing three dimensional book sculptures. They are a delightfully dimensional addition to bookshelves and mantles and great gifts for book lovers. No one is the same and all have an individuality defined by their paper origins.
All the information of the book that they were carved from is on a label on the base so that you will always have the historical details kept with it.
