My second favorite type of posts on your blogs/forums, after the tutorials are the "Behind the Scenes" of your dioramas.
I love to see what sort of space you're working in. As someone who is continually challenged to find the balance between work space, storage space and display space, I'm always looking for ideas.
Some of you focus on one diorama at a time, then take it down, store it and create another. I wish I could be this person. I tried it once and it was fun:
But then I took dismantled it and lamented my lack of a rain forest to play in.
So things are (well, were, until I packed the girls away) set up as permanent dioramas. For the most part. If you can tell anything by the last few posts is that I don't deal well with permanence. I like to see a change in my surroundings.
But then, my husband gave me Spooky Sooki. She became my goth enfant terrible. Her room has remained the same since the day I set it up for her:
But I hope to move to a more permanent home for all my VIP dolls.
What was I talking about? Right. Doll space.
At long last, I finally have a doll room. Thanks to Walmart's sale on small bins, all my clothing and accessories are separated into clear bins so I can find everything quickly and easily. This does not prevent the room from being a total wreck most of the time. Here's what it looked like before the girls were packed away. Note the storage bins. I just love them.
Josephine Baker's place, the new age shop below and the gallery next door. (see cheapo dolls shoved into a milk crate in the corner and random naked Barbie with hair being worked on).
The short-lived park.
The "apartment building" with nightclub on top:
What's your doll space look like?
