This is what I have been working on this week. A series of paper dolls. I always loved paper dolls when I was a girl. I did not have a lot of real dolls, but I had a whole big box filled with paper dolls. I would spend hours playing with them, drawing and colouring new clothes for them. It was so much fun.
Bluebell also has a friend. Her name is ButterCup . . . but I haven't done her clothes yet so I can't show her to you . . . but she's a redhead, just so you know.
I envision them having all kinds of adventures together . . . and I GET TO DRESS THEM!
How fun is that?
I can't wait. I'm so excited about that I could almost squeal with delight. I see tea parties and trips to the zoo and holidays . . . I see all sorts in their future. It will be so much fun.
Of course, I'm not selfish. I'll take you along with me on the journey. I hope you enjoy it too.
Edited to Add ButterCup, BlueBell's bestest friend.
This is my entry for this week's Paint Party Friday. Hop on over to the Stamping Ground to see what everyone else has been up to. You are sure to fall in love with something. I always do!

I loved paper dolls as a child - this takes me back!! Bluebell is gorgeous and her clothes are amazing - I wish I'd had an owl dress when I was little!!
Cute and pretty! Love the party and owl dresses! I loved paper dolls, too, especially drawing their clothes! :)
Paper dolls brings back a flood of childhood memories. Love these.
WHen you say share with us-- do you mean offer for sale in your shop?? I'd love to even purchase a "print your own" download sort of thing, or the actual dolls and dresses already printed, or any of the above, lol!
My dd's love their Barbies and dressing them up. But we find they take so much space, and frankly seem to get more expensive all the time, and I'd Love to switch slowly to the idea of some nicely made, quality, *beautiful* paperdolls and dresses instead.
Hi Blue Tulip. I do plan on selling them in my shop. Just not sure of which route to take yet. I will either be selling them as a "Print your own" thing or I'll have them printed myself, or maybe even both! I do plan on creating additional sets to go with these two so that you can "add" to your group.
Loving your paper doll with her wonderful wardrobe of clothes.
Happy PPF, Annette x

These are WONDERFUL.I too loved paper dolls as a child. I spent hours playing with them and my imagination. HPPF
Brings back memories of the paper dolls I used to draw as a girl...seems a few of us never outgrow them.=) Love your adorable girl and her cute clothes!
Oh how I loved paper dolls - always had trouble keeping those dresses with the tabs on the dolls though. Your dolls and clothing are super adorable. HPPF
Paper dolls were so much fun, I wanted to be a dress designer when I grew up. When I retired, I made cloth dolls, so in a way I was a dress designer, just not what I thought I would be. I love your paper dolls and the journey you have for all of us. What fun. Blessings, Janet PPF
They are the cutest things I have seen in a long time..:)
