Arthur
Millican, Jr.
is a former
Disney artisan
now relocated
to the small
community of
Blairsville,
in the beautiful
North Georgia
Blue Ridge Mountains.
His working
experiences
include years
at Disney as
an artist and
model-maker,
and later consulting
and design services
for Dollywood,
Michael Jackson's
Neverland Ranch,
and many other
commercial parks
and real estate
developments
world-wide.
His
passion is designing
and producing
whimsical and
enchanting fairy
houses and related
items. From
his new 2,500
sq. ft. woodworking
studio, he creates
hand crank toys
called automata
and captivating
fairy houses
from birdhouses
to large garden
shed or children
playhouse sizes.
No two pieces
are the same.
Art gleans materials
from festivals,
resale shops,
garage sales
and the like,
then uses these
materials in
his designs.
A bottle cap
may make a hat
for a gremlin
or another figurine;
a large old
teapot just
might turn into
a fairy house,
complete with
front door,
porch, windows
and whatever
else Art’s
imagination
can come up
with.
