A navy-style hat, a beige coat and a pair of wideleg jeans might look like the makings of a casual weekend outfit. On Li Han's desk, however, the ensemble was being carefully styled on a palm-sized doll.
Li, a 24-year-old college student in Beijing, had just returned from a doll exhibition, bringing home miniature dresses, handmade hats and a lighted retro-style display cabinet. Piece by piece, she arranged them on her desk, creating a miniature scene for her doll — and a quiet break from her busy routine.
"I've always had a soft spot for handmade pieces," she said.
For Li, dressing her doll and setting up a tiny home for it offers a quiet pause from the rush of daily life. "Each piece carries the maker's thought and care. Some are one of a kind, which makes them feel even more special."
