desc Description:

This is a "One of a kind" Alice Vignette, abounding with details. All pieces (excluding the Cheshire cat) are Hand-sculpted using Super sclupey and Cernit polymer clays. Bodies are handmade wire armatures wrapped with polyester batting and covered in cloth. All dolls have beautiful glass eyes. All clothing is sewn entirely by myself. I do French seams on the majority of my dolls clothing, except the really tiny parts to make sure there is no unraveling inside the clothing. I do not use any patterns, so you can be sure they are completely "One of a kind".

"True Father Christmas"

This One of a kind Vignette was created showing
the True meaning of Christmas, with Santa bowing before baby Jesus.

The Santa and baby are both hand-sculpted using super sculpey clay.
Santa is dressed in a traditional red & white suit, and the baby is draped in white cloth.
The Santa's kneeling height is 21" (30" if standing). The Baby is approx. 8".
Background is hand-painted in Oil, done by myself, and was made to fold and
form a unique backdrop using three stretched canvases (center canvas is 20" wide,
side canvases are each 12" wide, all are 24" tall, all three are hinged together).
The Manger, 11" x 7", was handmade using vintage wood, hand-painted,
and then finished with a sand texture. The Wood base is 11" x 20", and it also has the
sand textured finish applied.

I intentionally did not add any toys or any other items to the scene to
focus the attention to the true meaning of Christmas.
The glow of The Cross accents the deep colored background as a
bright light shining down to illuminate the tiny king.
This entire piece is truly a "One of a kind."
