Some miniaturists don't like the polyresin version of dolls, because you can't move their legs or arms. Well, that might be a reason, but not for me. I prefer these to other handmade porcelaine or vinyl dolls, because in my personal opinion, they look much more realistic. Most handmade dolls (with a few exceptions of course) look kind of strange once they're dressed. Somehow, unreal.

Well, everybody should go for what pleases him or her the most.

For whatever kind of doll you might decide, let me tell you that once a dollhouse or roombox is finished, the dolls are definitely adding life to the whole scene.
I made a few pics of mine to share what I mean :-)

There are of course some very talented miniaturist making wonderful dolls, my personal favorite is James Carrington.
Take a look at the LINK Section to find your way to his website.

If you keep looking through the window of a lighted dollhouse long enough, you sometimes see the little people move around :-)

It looks like if this young girl is ready for school

This lady seems to admire the fishtank with all the little fishes swimming around.

Mom's preparing dinner. I though that this kitchen only started to look like a real kitchen once the doll was set in place.

The grandparent's having a little picnic in their lovely garden.
