Wonderland expedition kit
August 2, 2008 by rappin · 4 Comments
My lovely girlfriend’s birthday is on Sunday, and since she’s so fantastic, I wanted to make her something very special. She’s a big fan of Alice in Wonderland, and we were awe-struck by the incredibly well-crafted and detailed creations of AlexCF, so I combined the two.
“Artifacts, Specimen, and Ephemera salvaged from the Wonderlands”
When Alice fell through the rabbit hole, she tore a rift between our two universes. Through this open rift, “nonsense” began leaking out of Wonderland. With a decreasing amount of nonsense, Wonderland became a more logical place, and since vanishing cats and singing flowers cannot exist in a logical universe, Wonderland began to die.
Professor Jonathan Lake, of Miskatonic University, traveled to Wonderland in attempt to catalog and archive the remaining flora and fauna so that Wonderland would not disappear into the forgotten depths of history. This is his collection of specimens, artifacts, and ephemera salvaged from the Wonderlands.



















Included in the kit:
-Card Guard specimen, mounted
-fetal Mome Rath
-caterpillar, preserved
-rose painted red
-raven’s feather (like a writing desk?)
-pocket watch
-key
-looking glass
-Cheshire Cat teeth
-Cheshire Cat fur samples
-framed photo of Lewis Carroll
-various photos of Wonderland inhabitants
-Eat Me and Drink Me bottles
-vial of water from Pool of Tears
-bottled mushroom bits, one from each side
-map of nonsense occurrences in England, leading to rabbit hole
-map of Wonderland
-typed copy of “You Are Old, Father William”
-typed letter from Professor Lake, detailing his journey to England
-half-burned print of the courtroom scene (removed from the scorched remains of the Liddell house)


That has got to be the coolest thing I’ve ever seen!
Aaw, man!
My husband only got me a ‘three-hour tour’ Historic Pirate Ship Sea Battle Cruise with black powder cannonfire and getting buzzed by landing seaplanes for my birthday.
Oh.
I guess I have nothing to complain of.
I’m just bragging.
And then he sent me a link here, so he must already be thinking of how to top it for next year.
We have the two coolest husbands in the universe!!!
Congratulations! And many happy returns!
Brilliant!
Darn, those people from Miskatonic U really get around! Shouldn’t they be, like, going to the Antartic and getting killed by shoggoths or something, not messing around with the Wonderlands (which I can only assume is in some far off corner of the Dreamlands).
