This is one of a series that grew from a commission to create an Alice in Wonderland teapot. I was drawn by the challenge of blending so many disparate motifs by way of incorporating a variety of materials and techniques. The rabbit, the queen of hearts, trumpets, and pocket watches conspired for a painstaking flight of fancy.
