The Queen of Hearts

This page was prompted by the words in the book which say ''She was just like the Queen in Alice in Wonderland'' to which I added ''except that she smiled!'' The blue dress is made up of mini paintings of pieces of china from the river shore. I love the tiny glimpses of what must have been a beautiful and intricate pattern. The variety is huge. I like it when a tiny figure or building appears on the fragment. The face is copied from Tenniel's illustration-exept that she is smiling.

I love collecting pottery along the shore, the blue patterned pieces are always a treasure.

Yes me too. I find them in my garden too.

It's quite a legacy you will be leaving in your wake one day, my dear. (Not to sound morbid, I mean.)
