White Rabbit at the Queen's Court Exclusive

I made this "White Rabbit in the Queen's Court" for Happily Ever After in Philadelphia.  They are hosting an event with an Alice in Wonderland themed luncheon October 15 from 10 to 3. Each event goer gets one of these White Rabbits, exclusive to this event only.  The White Rabbit is in proportion to the other Alice dolls I have made, so he can join the collection or stand on his own.  I still have yet another surprise for the guests at the event, so stay tuned!!

Sneak peak at my new book

Full speed ahead. The book proof came from the printer and its fantastic. The layout and pics look great. The book itself is a hard covered book with dust jacket and a vintage look. This coffee table sized book is loaded with photo-illustrations of scenes that I created with dolls and props. Every 2 page spread is richly illustrated. Lewis Carroll's full text and original hand lettering enhances the vintage feel of the book and honors his work. The book is available along with a companion limited edition Alice doll. go to http://www.nancywiley.com/Alice%20Book.html to purchase the book and doll.

We hired Chris Chomick

I'm excited to tell you that we hire Chris Chomick to do the layout of "Alices Adventures in Wonderland".  She just finished the difinitive NIADA book, NIADA Art Dolls Rich Traditions, New Ideas. 

Chris Chomick and husband Peter Meder are artist members of NIADA and both have lots of experience in graphic design.  Check out their website http://www.chomickmeder.com/

With Chris' help the book will be laid out beautifully.

Rabbit Chase

Here is the latest image I completed for my upcoming book.

Compositionally, this illustration is based on an early Monet painting that I always loved.  The girl in the foreground is Alice's sister who reads stories to Alice.  Alice soon becomes bored and when the White Rabbit shows up, the chase is on.

This illustration has two dolls (Alice and her sister) . The rabbit is painted into the background in this scene.  Later in the story he is three-dimensional.  I thought it was interesting for this scene because Alice is about to go into another world--another dimension, like stepping into a painting.
