So, about the canvas...it was a painting I found on line and copied (4 times). you cannot see it in the pic, but it is layered and foam tape is behind each layer. the first being the whole pic, then Alice and the bottle, then Alice, and then just Alice's face. I thought the whole idea was cool since her birthday is the day after Halloween which is called Day of the Dead. Alice has the Day of the Dead look about her....so any way, "Life what is it but a dream" is the last verse in the poem Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll, which of course is the original works of Alice in Wonderland. To the left you will see small mirrors which represent the looking glass. On the right there is the crown from the Queen of Hearts and the golden key that got poor Alice into some tight places. (LOL) The whole thing was done on 9x12 canvas.
