Description
These seven round glass baubles are Christmas tree decorations drawn from Alice in Wonderland, each tinted its own soft colour and carrying a different character from the story. Alice sits in light blue among white daisies, the Mad Hatter in mint, Tweedledum and Tweedledee in aqua, the March Hare in yellow, the Cheshire Cat in pink, the White Rabbit in rose red and the Queen of Hearts in lilac. Each bauble is 8cm across, a classic tree size, with flower petals placed inside the glass behind the figure, so the scene has real depth. Words are printed around the glass too; Alice's bauble reads "ALICE looking for WONDERLAND".
Hung together, the seven give a Christmas tree a storybook theme from top to bottom, and the mix of colours keeps it cheerful rather than matched. Spread among plainer baubles, they bring a little colour and a character to find on each branch. Each one hangs from its own ribbon loop, so they sit just as happily along a mantelpiece garland, on a wreath, in a window or from a vase of winter twigs on a hall table. They make a thoughtful Christmas gift, ready to go straight onto the tree.
Each bauble is glass with a shiny finish, topped with a silver-coloured cap and a ribbon loop in a shade picked to suit its glass, from pale blue to purple. Glass deserves gentle handling, so lift each one by its cap or ribbon, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth, and between Christmases store the baubles wrapped in tissue in a sturdy box. For the best effect, hang them near fairy lights or a window, where the tinted glass catches the light and the flowers inside glow.
