When Eba López (@ebavolvoreta) got an iPad as a gift, she didn’t anticipate that it would open the gate to a new passion — dolls. At 54 years old, Eba, who had never owned a computer before, discovered Blythes — fashion figures that are just under a foot tall, with customizable eyes, hair, dresses and accessories. “It’s another world and one that has given me so much life. It has made me meet new people,” she says. Now Eba, who lives in Bilbao, Spain, has a close-knit group of collector friends. “I was never into photography, or had thought about it, but now every day I take one of my dolls around the city to take pictures,” she says. The hobby, however, is not cheap. So, Eba has learned, through online tutorials, how to make her dolls’ outfits. She has even enlisted her family’s help. Eba’s husband, for instance, built the windows on her dollhouse.
