I am a passionate Dollhouse and Doll enthusiast. When I can't find what I want...I make it. This has led to wonderful adventures meeting artists in the field and creating my own work. One of the greatest joys of collecting is to share that passion with others. I am a founding member of the Renaissance Doll Study Club, a chapter of the United Federation of Doll Clubs. If you have a passion for dolls and dollhouses and live in Southern California, please let us know so we can arrange for you to be a guest at one of our meetings or presentations.
By day I was a long time VFX and Animation Producer, you can find my credits on Films such as Madagasgar and the Tinker Bell Movie and on Video Games such as World of Warcraft, Starcraft and Overwatch.
Now that I am retired, I have been able to devote more time to the study of antique dolls and dollhouses. Building on those Antique traditions through modern re-creations helps teach history and give historical and artistic perspective to these fabulous items. For information on my lectures and dollhouse programs please contact me or leave a note here.
I have a new project! Marv found this for me at Z-Gallery. It is a 6 story bird cage that I will be turning into a dollhouse. This should keep me busy for a while!!
woooooooooooohooooooooooooooo I can so so much going on in this 6 story bird cage. oh my! full of dragons and fairies. BOY you WILL have your hands full but when it is done it will be spectacular! I see little cities and vines hanging down so they can get to each floor. I am coming over to help you. I love it and your hubby was so sweet to get it for you. Hurry! when ya gonna get started?
I love your bircage Noel! Sounds fasinating to transform it into a dollhouse. You will have a ton of fun looking for tiny oreintal items. They have such fabulouse art papers and origami papers you can use. I love the baby shoes too. You painted them so pretty. I love what you have done with the faces. I have some of those faces laying around too! I never thought of adding clay or similar to them. It is a great idea! hugs Karen
Thanks Karen! I was at the county fair yesterday and got some wonderful little chinese dragons and so little red lanterns that fit over christmas style lights. They are the perfect scale! They even have red tassles hanging from them.
I'll have to show some pics as I collect these little treasures. -Noel

That's a beautiful birdcage, Noel. As a dollhouse, though, I keep thinking of a series of jailhouse scenes.... I've even got the music for it:
Bad Dolls! Bad Dolls! What ya gonna do when they come for you? Bad Dolls! Bad Dolls!
