I created a new Flickr group,
Living Dolls

About Living Dolls
Little dolls (or Barbie doll sized) bought at thrift stores or other second hand places. There are an endless supply of unwanted dollies, cheap. Buy those which appeal to you and seem fixable. Clean them up, make them new clothes if you can and when you have photographed them all you wish to find them a new home. I suggest taking them to your local women’s shelter or hospital.
The dolls are put into situations where they are in peril or just struggling to live as a little doll in the great, big world. Think of unique and creative ways a small doll (just a couple of inches tall) would make a life for herself. How would she (he) live, where would she live and how would she keep her existence a secret?
There are other groups for adult stuff with dolls. This should just be fun.
Good Luck with the group. I don’t have any dolls, but if in future that changes then I will join!
I didn’t have any before I had the idea to take pictures of them. Now it’s kind of interesting to see which ones will clean up well and then how I can stick them into and onto things. It’s a lot easier with the ones that can stand on their own.
