To emphasize this, I pulled out a fabric covered journal I made a year or so ago using paper doll fabric.
Here's one I backed with felt. This fabric beauty even has her own wardrobe.
Back in 2007 or 2008, I was in a "free" tip-in swap. All the materials had to be free, such as from the junk mail pile, the dumpster, or ads from newspapers. I made a bunch of these tip-ins using the paper art doll pattern that I scaled down to fit the page size. Yep, that me: Dr. E., Queen of Free.
Of course, Maggie wanted something new!
Made from mostly fabric (and bits of fiber for the hair), but paper backed, this is my interpretation of this challenge. Take your pick, Maggie. It's the same doll, she's just got more attitude in the scan than in the photo I took off my camera. I actually love moving her limbs.Thanks for this challenge, Maggie. I so loved the dragon, but knew I would never be able to make one!
i am going to use paper dolls in a swap soon and plan to use fabric. i made a template a few months ago when i designed Kate's wedding dress. SO much fun
ReplyDeleteMonica is wonderful. I remember when you created that paper doll book last year. I still think it's fabulous as is the little doll you featured with it. I can never get enough of paper dolls! Thanks for posting.

ReplyDeleteI didn't even realize it was Friday the 13th! I'm not superstitious but it may explain hubby's bad day. :) The paper dolls are sweet...I wonder what ever happened to mine. I likely decided I was too old and pitched them.
ReplyDeleteI loved paper dolls as a child, made my own clothes for them too. I guess I've been creative forever.
ReplyDeleteI love your little paper dolls... it takes me back to my childhood!! Used to cut up pages from my Mum's catalogues to dress them!!
