Created by UK artisan Julie Campbell, the miniature dolls are handcrafted to the finest details. Each piece is one of a kind in which one can collect her creations and develop their favorite scenes. Some collectors even commission Julie to handcraft specific themes such as in the movies or perhaps characters from a favorite book. She even had created miniature character dolls based on the movie Alice in Wonderland which starred Johnny Depp as the "Mad Hatter."
Julie is also a member of the International Guild of Miniature Artisans (IGMA) and the Custom Dolls, Houses, and Miniatures (CDHM). Each doll she has created took hours of labor to craft and each piece is completely unique. Furthermore, each of her creation is handcrafted without using molds and each is intricately sculpted and painted even to its almost microscopic features. Aside from this, the Bellabelle dolls have jointed limbs so that it can hold a natural pose even with its tiny body parts.
