Modern miniature furniture in New York Times



For all of you who, like me, love to look at (or even aquire) modern furniture for their dolls, here is an article in the New York Times about them. I resent the implication that people who collect stuff like that are eccentric and weird - it is the only thing that marred this article for me. I would love to have some of that stufff to photograph my dolls with. They have a nice slideshow too.

    I totally agree with you. I have always viewed dolls as an art form. Beyond that, just about anything made to scale inspires thought, patience, creativity, dexterity to produce a doll, a scene, or an environment that not only serves the purpose of artistic display, but invites others to appreciate it as a functional art form. I know a back surgeon who built doll houses with his wife to maintain his dexterity and eye for detail. Bravo for your post!
