Robyn's 
Dollhouse and Mini World

 

I have been interested in dollhouses and miniatures since the age of 5. I love to build, decorate, renovate and create. Here is a look into my world of miniatures. I hope you will come back again to see pictures of my grandest creations. I'm trying hard to get some put up for you! I've opened up my own web store now called Robyn's Custom Creations. Currently you will find candy wrappers, candles, and Jazzy Tags. I hope to add some miniatures there soon.

Current Projects

 

My Lundby dollhouse from 1971- I played hard with this one and it's still in one piece. I am trying to restore it back to it's original shape. Lundby dollhouses are not in traditional dollhouse scale so it's a challenge to find/create non-Lundby items that will work. It's in 3/4" - 1' scale. These are the most wonderful and durable dollhouses.

Look down this page to find links to places where you can buy or see Lundby stuff!

 

The Beacon Hill- This belongs to a friend, I am just doing the construction, decorating, wiring and finishing. I am still working on this one. My goal is to move this one out by May. (NOTE- This is a VERY involved kit. Geez!!)

 

The Buttercup Cottage- This one actually belongs to me. I just can't seem to find time to finish it, but isn't that always the way? I know NO other miniature fanatics have <GASP> unfinished projects sitting around.

 

Coming soon to be finished by December 2003...the Real Good Toys' barn for my oldest daughter.
 

Next project after the barn... a house for my daughter's 5th birthday. Right now I can't get her past the barn to make a decision on a house. *grin*

Finished projects

 

The Pierce- This was already built when I took it over. I  finished it with paint, wallpaper, flooring, electricity, etc. and finally delivered it. YAY! August 1998

Scratch Built house- I  wired a scratch built house (37 lights). August 1998.

 

The Thornhill- (by Houseworks and Real Good Toys)  If you have much knowledge of dollhouses you know that this one was a BIG one! Due to the pregnancy of my first child this house was much delayed in it's delivery. I finally finished it, September 1999, with a total of about 20 hours dedicated towards the construction and wiring.

Mount Vernon- I built this house from a 20 year old kit. It was completed in December '96.

According to Mark, "These people were very helpful. They had the clapboard paper in a nearly exact match and the brick in a near match."

Attempts at Miniature Doll-making

witch head and the Witch
These 1" - 1' scale doll heads were made with push molds and Super Sculpey. After removing the clay from the mold I pinched, remolded, carved and painted until they looked like the characters I had in mind then baked them until hard. ( The witch was from a Santa Claus mold! )
