We're making paper dolls.
It's a party.
Having a little extra time at the desk yesterday, I started thinking about making paper dolls. It is something I have been resisting. I wanted to trade with my fRieNd rElLa so I jumped in.
I knew I wanted to use these legs and red shoes so I went to my photos and looked for a head that would work. She is one of my first sketches from way back in the beginning of blogging.
She is perfect for a paper doll.
I printed the images on card stock and then gave you a little tease.
That's all I managed to do yesterday.
I'm thinking you may have a stamp of a head to use or maybe an old vintage photograph that you can scan and print. How about something out of the ever-lovin advertisements in the newspaper. Or you could just do a quick little sketch. Same goes for feet.I don't know how to tell you how to size all the components other than be a little girl playing with paper and
just play.
I wanted my paper doll to be heaver than card stock so I found a discarded bit of watercolor paper. It was a left over that I saved.....in case.
I glued the images to the watercolor paper but forgot that the pattern on the paper was not waterproof and almost made a mess.
I decided that it would work and was good enough
You should do your own thing.
We're having a party!
Fun little body coming next.
More later,
Sharon
