Dollramas I (Miniature scenes)

A year of Dollramas...

2009-2011 

I

(Pour la version française, voir ici)

I know that the usual term is Diorama, but it is for all sorts of miniature scenes of all scales... 

And, even if J'adôre Dior, I feel better saying Dollrama when dolls are involved...

I don't know if scenes inside a dollhouse count as Dollramas but I'll start by the first vintage furnished  "rooms" for dolls I ever set as an adult since 2009.

How to Re-string a Miniature Doll...

If the limbs of one of your articulated miniature dolls have come off and you want to repair it yourself, here is an original Ysé's tutorial and a simple way to do it...

First of all you will need : 

2 tiny elastic bands per doll - the tiny ones on sale at the hair department in supermarkets and stores - and 2 knitting metal crochet hooks (French size 3 & 1.5 - or for the second crochet hook, in fact whichever size fits in the tiny holes of the limbs...)

It is quite easy to do for limbs with joint hooks (you'll need smaller elastic bands than the one shown on the above photo, though), but it is another story for limbs with joint holes... Here is how it can be done...
