Description
I had seen Alice three times in eight years. There was no reason, or pattern for her visits. I don't know why my particular mirror was a conduit between her world and mine, but she had mentioned there were others. Although the book had been published some 40 years earlier, Alice had aged only about ten, or twelve years. Now she was a very fetching young woman.
She told me all about Wonderland and wanted me to come back with her, but I was full of doubt about that very strange place. One night, I was lying in bed, looking at the full moon, when the mirror came alive. The familiar scenery appeared and then Alice peeked from around the mirror frame. She looked around, then stepped into the room. It was a cold night and she wasn't completely dressed. Seeing Alice rubbing her arms, I asked her about the lack of attire. Turns out that it is Spring all year around in Wonderland and that it could get quite warm. It seemed the decent thing to do, so I pulled back the bedcovers and invited her in.

Made everything here except clothes. The scenery image is set back from the mirror frame, almost in the corner of the room. It's lined up with the camera so the figure and lights could be placed correctly.
