Marvelous Fun and Gmes Spiderman



I don't know much about this super hero paper dolls. It is from Courier ( or Courier Express?) newspaper. The art is by Owen McCarron and the page is called Marvelous Fun and Games.  I have a few of these pages.  This one features Spider-Man/Peter Parker.  It is dated October 29 1978.  Please let me know if you are able to view this full size (right click open new tab) seems to work now on the 'new' blogger.

Movie Dressograph Shirley Temple




This is the only full size Movie Dressograph sheet I have.  the very famous Shirley Temple.  due to it's size and fragile nature, I cannot scan it, so instead I took pictures with my phone.  am I too lazy to rotate the pictures... yes I am! (also can't really figure out how to on my new phone yet) anyway Shirley has three dresses and a wig along with a bow.  This is dated December 23rd 1934.  maybe one day i'll be able to get a better scan of it.  the paper is separating in the middle where the newspaper has been folded.

I don't think I've posted this one, but some of the Jane paper dolls all look the same!  Old newspaper panel dated 6-13-1937.  Jane has four outfits including some lovely prints! Love her swimsuit too.

100 Days color part 1




coloring this set has proven more challenging and time consuming then expected, certainly well past the 100 days!  Anyway, here's the pages I've done so far.  I will try to continue coloring the rest, but my tablet has been wonky and Photoshop doesn't always want to load.  I've just been busy.

Santa Bear

Christmas in July?  Enjoy this single page Santa Bear and miss mouse by Peggy Jo Rosamond.  I only have the one page which has a bear with one outfit and a mouse with one outfit.  I may be missing a second page.  I believe this is from a magazine, but don't have any information about it.  Dated 1986

American Paper Dolls






So here's a project I was working on.  I wanted to make some more clothing but I won't have time before the 4th of July.  I also didn't have time to clean up the line work.  My tablet has been a bit wobbly at line drawing.  But I wanted to post SOMETHING!  There are 8 girls, America, Truth, Freedom, Liberty, Peace, Justice, Hope and Harmony.  They should all be able to share the two pages of clothing I've designed.  There are 8 tops, 8 bottoms, 3 dresses and 6 pairs of shoes (meant to do more!)  I may use these bases in the future for other holidays.  Also trying to design some hairstyles that will fit all the dolls, but it proved to be a bit difficult.  The whole idea was to show the diverse population of America.  May design more dolls in the future.
