More Party

Hey, Glad to have you.
If you're just getting here, check out the first post today.

We're making paper dolls.

It's a party.

Maybe we got the cart before the horse by doing the hands first. But that happens at parties.

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

I cut out the head and legs and painted a coat of Golden soft gel gloss. Totally optional step.

You should do your own thing.

We're having a party!

Fun little body coming next.

More later,

Sharon
