Poppy at the Flower Market
When I started making 1/6 flowers, it was with this diorama in mind. I wanted to do a French style flower market. I started with 1/6 roses and then just kind of took off into other types and varieties. I have not stopped. I work predominately in paper. All kinds of paper from tissue through crepe paper and into thicker cardstock. Each flower type has it’s different personality that requires a different structure. That is part of the beauty of discovery when crafting I suppose. For me, there is a photo shoot concept at the end that drives me. I have had some really epic fails and also..I am happy to report…some extraordinary successes.
Part of the project for this flower market was the construction of the flower shop window. That was accomplished with foam core board, stucco spray paint , plastic and dollhouse molding. I figured out how to make the little French flower pails out of paper. This glorious Dior inspired suit by Chris Stoeckel for Integrity Toys fits Poppy beautifully. It just needed a French flower shop backdrop.

Thank you so much my dear! Now if I could only have your exceptional and professional perfume expertise to add to the flowers. I am considering my options for the flowers and how I might teach the crafting of these beautiful miniatures. Will keep you updated.

Amazing, I’m thinking that you took that little break and now you are back with a vengence!
The details and time, especially on the flowers. I have had the same thought in doing a flower shop but it so pales in what you’ve done. Imagination plus.

Lovely to hear from you Joan! I am sure any diorama you do would be amazing considering your designer eye. I am looking into offering the plants and flowers at some point in the future. We will see. Fingers crossed.

Your photos are amazing, and thanks for showing us your setup. But I have one question. How do you get the dolls to stand up without falling over?
March 8, 2021 at 9:28 am
Thank you! You are asking the #1 question I get all the time about shooting photographs with dolls. I did a short video of what I do on my Instagram feed . Just go to the category ” behind the scenes” up at the top of my Instagram feed and I think it is a couple of short clips in. Basically the doll is suspended from a string from my light tent or I have another support I use for natural light shoots. Hope this helps.

Ha, I found it. I can only assume that you stick a pin through their heads to hold the string? I think I can rig something up. Which brings me to a favor. Sometime last year I saved a photo from your blog as inspiration for dressing my Tonner dolls. I can’t point to the actual link but it was four Dennis Basso fashions and you photoshopped doll’s heads to them. I have made the first three outfits and have some cheetah print velveteen for the last one. Anyway I was thinking on starting to post on my blog again which has been inactive since I stopped doing art shows years ago. I wanted to also show the inspiration photo for the outfits and I would link to your site, of course. The outfits turned out pretty. I would love to show them to you.
