Last week I was at a miniatures fair in the city of Arnhem, The Netherlands, organized by DollsHouse Nederland in a truly exceptional venue: a gothic church in the city center! Below are some pictures of the scene.
The whole fair was an incredible gathering of magnificent artists showing skills that made one feel very humble indeed! The level of expertise was stunning, and the items displayed jaw-dropping.
One of these artists was Mrs Victoria Heredia Guerbós, a miniaturist and sculptress from Málaga, Spain. I would actually add 'magician' to her titles, because the miniature dolls she makes look as if made by magic! I bought one of these tiny little wonders for Jane's attic. Below are some pictures of it for you to enjoy.
The doll is made in exquisite detail, everything about it is just right! She has five fingers on each hand, her legs can move, and she even has tiny beads for eyes, which were painted green. The doll's clothes are made of antique fabric for that extra authentic look. And to put things into perspective, you should know that she's just 2,5 cm tall!!! That's 0,98 inches!!! As I said: magic!
The doll even came with her own cardboard box. She didn't have a name, but I will call her 'Victoria' to honor the wonderful lady that created her.

Thanks for visiting, and see you next time!

Beautiful! Such a tiny doll with lots of detail. She will fit nicely in the attic.
