(For Dollramas I,  see here)

Some of these small scale scenes (before showing the bigger scale I announced in the last post) were created for small doll photo competitions, other were part of longer stories... and some were just for the sake of it... A series even became a printed card game !...

First my early stages as a scene setter (not that I am that pro at it now mind you...)

Certaines de ces scènes encore à petite échelle (et avant de vous montrer celles avec des meubles plus grands) ont été créées pour de petites compétitions photos poupées, d'autres font parties d'une histoire en photos... et quelques-unes ont juste été construites pour le plaisir... Et sont plus ou moins réussies... Cependant une des séries est même devenue un jeu de cartes imprimé des 7 familles !...

Part I

I have been interested in Blue-Box as a brand and a manufacturer for years now... Ever since I identified two of my childhood toys as being of that make (Made in Singapore)... I remember buying two sets myself in 1972 - I was 6 then - from a sweet and toy stall in a big park near Paris on a rainy sunday afternoon with a little money I was given for the occasion.

One, the bedroom, is still intact in the box...

Its near pristine state is the proof that...
