The Hoarder Dollhouse

This is a custom built dollhouse on a 1 inch scale. I put the house together and painted it with original colors. Every roof shingle was applied individually by hand. All of the items inside are securely glued into place.

Each and every item has been chosen with "Maybelline" in mind. There are literally too many items to list... every attention to detail was taken while making this hoarded work of art. Everything in the house is authentic and original. Every nook and cranny is hoarded and the house even has "dirt" on the floor, filth and "mold" on the walls. You can look at this house for quite some time and not see everything there is to see. There are many food items, old furniture, a basket of eggs, clothespins and even two bicycles. There is a stack of garbage bags in a corner and a pile of newspapers. Lots of dishes, pots, pans, and plates are strewn about. Some of the most striking details is the pile of "real" cat bones next to the overflowing litterbox. If you look closely you can find the "missing" husband by his legs poking out from under the bed! The abandoned baby crib is covered in cobwebs and the rusted out old truck is full of discarded car parts. Many hours of time and creativity went into this production from building the house, to hoarding it, to the writing of the story. Everything is of my own creation and this is a one of a kind work of art. No one has done anything like this before and this incredible and unique creation would be a welcome addition to any miniature collector or art enthusiast. Included will be a copy of Maybelline's "story" printed out on paper. No animals were harmed in the making of this house. The authentic bones are from owl pellets that often contain tiny bones from birds and small rodents. Owls can't digest animal bone so they regurgitate the bones and fur of their prey. The bones have been extracted, cleaned and sanitized. The bones are real as is the cat hair that is clumped around the corpse. The bones were obtained from PULPmiscellania who can be found on the website Etsy. The truck is a 1:24 scale International 1/2 ton diecast pick up truck. It has been "rusted" out and primed to obtain it's abandoned automobile look. 3 flat tires and a broken axel. The truck was provided by GarzCarz you can find him on ebay or on the internet. He specializes in authentic custom built diecast race cars.

Hoarding is a serious mental condition and should not be taken lightly. This is only my rendering of what a hoarded house would be like and while Maybelline's story is of my own creation, many, many people suffer from this difficult problem. I am also in no way advocating alcohol abuse or domestic violence. This house and the characters depicted are a work of fiction.
