The first Australian snowdome page

Featuring domes from the collections of Belinda Ban, Lisa Crowe and others ...

Third edition January 2002, compiled by Lisa Crowe

I started collecting snowdomes in the mid-1990's. I should have started 30 or 40 years ago. While domes are making a big comeback in the United States, these exquisite little pieces of kitsch are becoming as rare as hen's teeth in Australia. The old-fashioned style of dome with the blue back and moulded, sometimes handpainted, 3D panels is disappearing faster than table manners and free state education.

Special thanks to my friend Kay Burns for her help with the photos.
