The 2023 Lewis Carroll Award for a 2D or 3D creation on a Fairytale Theme Awarded to Alice Prudom for "Alice in Steamland"
After wandering through Wonderland and going Through The Looking Glass, Alice trips and falls into Steamland!
​
Eerily similar to Wonderland, but with a few more marvelous machines.
​
Created using Powertex and mixed media, various Wonderland inspired objects appear to leap out of the book. Watch out for Absolem the catterpillar who has had a Cog-gy makeover.
