Vintage Dolls....
The Past comes to the Present.
Vintage Dolls are a Quiet Little Way of Revisiting the Past
Did you know that for your most adored collector doll there is an official lingo and terminology in collectors circles? It can be found here.
From vintage dolls we learn a lot about the culture of the present and the past.
These kinds of toys were of course used in dollhouses and for general play in all eras that we know of. They have been a close friend of most children for years.
Some of the best miniature people of vintage quality are: Barbie, Gene, Raggedy Ann and Andy, Shirley Temple....
Did you know you can even use vintage troll items in the creation of your miniature structures?
Why not?
Being creative is not limited to just what someone else would like or think that you should do. Being creative has everything to do with what appeals to you personally.
So if something appeals to you that doesn't appeal to others don't let your differences stop you. Simply allow yourself to create in the technique you desire.
Think of what it will do for you personally to excel in your own work of art. In the least it will give you personal confidence to pursue unique ideas.
Trolls, believe it or not, came into being in the 60s and became very popular somewhere after Barbie entered the scene. They were actually a huge seller in their heyday.
The above fact make trolls a very unusual collectible doll for possible inclusion in your tiny creations. Take note however you may desire to create some sort of totally off the wall structure after reading this.
A Paper doll is absolutely a vintage charmer as far as doll collecting is concerned.
People of all social classes owned them. And they are another one with ties to dollhouses. They too can be accurate reflections of very different cultures.
Early European paper people often depicted actors and actresses, and they were intended for use with toy stages. A stage is a type of doll's house, is it not? In the eyes of collectors it is.
