In many of my past dolls I have depicted chubby faced children... Sweet rosy cheeks, dressed in frocks or costumes. Many of my dolls have been truly inspired by my children, especially my little chubby face, freckled little girl.
Lately, she has been digging through her box of paper dolls, which inspired me once again to create some lil paper dolly's of my own.

I worked on the first one last night. Once I started work on the second dolly, my daughter wanted to join in the fun.
So right along side me, I drew her up a dolly to paint& decorate herself.

Her face lit up with delight!!!
I must say, she did a wonderful job on her dolly
( pictured below)
which, she named Abbie.
She even made her dolly a book and an extra outfit.
We played with the three sisters for some time...they had a delectable tea party.

I'd like to encourage you to create your very own paper dolly's too....
Girl's get a kick out of it !!
If you decide that is not for you...there are many paper doll kits available, even vintage or antique reproductions have been made.
My daughter will play with them for hours, cutting out all the accessories and outfits.
Paper dolls first appeared in Paris in the 18th Century later,
appearing in the Western society in the late 18th Century.
A pastime in which many girls still enjoy.

ReplyDeleteWe love your paper dolls! The girls love paper dolls as well and have made their own - most recently they made fairy dolls.

Great job! Very cute paper dolls ladies!
ReplyDeleteDo you still have the paper dolls I made for her? I used to collect paper dolls when I was a girl all the way up to age 12 years old. I love them!
Looks and sounds like you had a wonderful fun time doing this.
Happy Creating

Hey I am surprised to see you online. Tony told me your computer quit working.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog and for the kind words about my work. Yes, it has been about 2 1/2 years since you started me out in blogging and collage. I am proud that I am learning Photoshop on my own. It just takes trial and error. Sometimes I surprise myself!!
Next week I will be at my 500th post and I will be doing a giveaway. Not sure what yet but that is my plan.
I am also going to be changing my home page. I am excited.
Thanks again for the kind words.
Glad your computer is back up, that must have been a lost feeling!!
Hugs
