White Queen from Alice in Wonderland Through the Looking Glass. Large wooden Kokeshi hotsell style doll hand painted in Scotland

Unique hand painted White Queen wooden Kokeshi style doll from Alice in Wonderland. Painted in my Edinburgh studio and inspired by the work of Lewis Carroll, this is a perfect gift for any Alice fan or collector as no two dolls are the same.

This White Queen doll has pearls painted around her neck and her gown and hair is covered in jet black jewels. The front and back portions of her dress are knitted to show the relation between the White Queen and the sheep that Alice meets in the shop in the Wool & Water chapter of Through the Looking Glass. She also has a ball of wool and knitting needles, rather than a bow, at the back of her dress.

Measures approx 14.5cm.

Each doll in my collection is intricately drawn and painted and takes a number of hours to complete and no two are identical.

The dolls are made from Lime, a wood traditionally used for marionette and puppet making. The dolls have 2 base coats of colour applied and are sanded in between. Afterwards, the outline of the figure is drawn with pencil. The doll is then painted with high quality artist's acrylic paints, inks and fineliner pens. It is left to dry between coats so that detail can be painted on top. When complete, it is aired then varnished with two coats of varnish for protection which gives a subtle satin sheen.

I have painted a range of other wooden Alice dolls so please feel free to browse! They make beautiful collector's gifts.
