VYNETTE miniature dolls

Vynette Miniature Dolls

My name is Vynette van der Heijden, and I live in Port Elizabeth, South Africa with my husband Arthur and our many four legged children.

I started making 1:12 scale porcelain dolls in 2003, after being inspired by various miniature doll artists on the internet.

After being taught by Cheryl Clingen, & doing workshops with Dana Burton (Dolls of Romance)

and Helena (Fashion Dolls in Miniature) from Belgium, I had gained the confidence to set about making my own 1:12 scale miniature creations. I now thoroughly enjoy sitting in my studio which has a beautiful view of the ocean, with my two dogs, creating my own miniature dolls.
