I used layers of chipboard to form a compartment, which I gilded with metal leaf on the inside. It contained some Alice-themed playing cards and a mini-book with part of the story and some of Tenniel's classic illustrations.
Chipboard doors were added with metal hinges and fastenings.

Why you would delete it, I cannot imagine!! I love your tags and other bits of artwork but really Dan, these are the things I love the most that you make.
Glad you re-blogged or blogged for the first time, either way, i am glad you shared Alice through the iron gates with us readers. It is very inspirational.
Thank you for sharing!
Happy crafting.

This is fab. I love anything "hidden" and opening layers to see what's beneath -very clever, and especially the "Dan" image on the playing card.
A truely inspriational project... love everything about it.
