About Marie
Hello, I'm Mari from “Marie's Dollhouse” who creates a 1/12 size miniature world.
I am currently engaged in various activities such as art toys, collaboration on miniatures related to advertisements and content, and exhibitions. We want to share the joy of “the small world I make” through workshops and classes.
There's a lot of fun in a dollhouse. The fun of observing, the fun of creatively recreating, the fun of completing each prop, the fun of putting it in the space after making it, and the fun of telling your own story... The fun you can enjoy in all of these processes is the appeal of a dollhouse, and I want to share this joy with more people.
In “Dollhouse (Dollhouse),” “Doll” is likened to something small, and refers to a small house, small house, or space where a doll can live without a doll. Also known as Doll House or Doll's House.
When I was a kid, I loved dollhouses as much as dolls. Unfortunately, I was just as happy to imagine the house I wanted to live in because I was big while making it with my own hands and placing it like this.Then I accidentally came across “A Christmas Nightmare” and said, “This is it! I thought, “I want to make it too,” Building model companyStarting with my work in, I learned about Dollhouse and began studying. I have conducted various courses as a dollhouse instructor, and now I am expanding my fields by working as a workshop and artist.
