Dolls Hospital

About three years ago, when I restarted doll making, I went to a hardware shop to buy stainless steel wire for joint making and the cores for the fingers of the dolls. Unfortunately despite my specific request that wire wasn't stainless steel. And as a result, it rusted. All the wrists, the ankles, the necks (or the heads) and fingers of all the dolls that I made with that wire must be repaired. 
To find the stainless steel wire is the essential task of the repairing but I found it very difficult. After visiting some hardware shops and a few hours of Internet research I found Surrey Stainless Steel ltd. in Croydon! They are very helpful, I finally got steel steel rod (1.6mm diameter) so that I can now start repairing.


I must make four pairs of hands...
