Interesting Jerry, that would make a very good figure.

Did you know that there was an additional chapter in 'Through the Looking Glass' where Alice meets a wasp in a wig. Tenniel wouldn't draw it and it was dropped. See http://www.alice-in-wonderland.net/resources/chapters-script/a-wasp-in-a-wig/

Hello and thanks to all of you. 

Nicholas, yes. The RHF is one of the Looking Glass Insects.
Please check out the Looking Glass Story. There you'll find also both Tove & Borogove.

Good night everybody, Angela

Tenniels designs.

[Nicholas Ball]

I didn't realise you were an engraver Angela.

These are very nice. I must admit I haven't seen these illustrated. Are they Tenniels  original  designs  as well?

[JerryMort]

Superb.

[Oda]

What a lovely figure.

Hello and good evening,

as announced in the topic about The Tove & The Borogove, here is another flatfigure Mike designed.
It is many years ago that I told Mike I wanted to engrave the Rocking Horse Fly.
He loved the idea and asked if he could draw it for me. Of course I agreed.
Here is my version of the RHF. Behind the painted flat you can see the unpainted backside of another RHF.

A nice afternoon/evening to all of you

Angela
