1929

This is what appears to be a homemade paper doll made from a magazine or catalog.  She is dated 1929 on the back of the outfits.  Afraid she's a bit damaged on the top of her head.  she has 5 outfits, though non have tabs.  

 

50 days of 100

The #100 Day Project is an Instragram challenge to do something crafty each day.  So I do have an Instragram @missmissypaperdolls but I really only use it for posting things like this. Here is day 1-50.  For this project, I made two sisters inspired by vintage 1920s/1930s children's patterns like this one here.  Every day I drew an outfit or accessory for both girls so 66 dresses or 33 for each doll (if i counted right) plus shoes, hats and dolls that have outfits too. After today I will switch over to coloring the set, which will be posted on Instagram and then when it's done, I will post it here. I will aslo try to organize some of the pages better.

Paper Doll Collaboration 2018 August Favorite Decade 1920s

This months theme was favorite decade.  I love the 1920s, especially the flapper style and art deco.  So I created these four outfits inspired by vintage dresses, along with a pair of t-strap shoes and a hair wrap.  I meant to post this earlier in the day, but for some reason my file didn't save properly and I had to redo some things.  Allergies have been killing me the last few days.  Be sure to check out the other blogs participating in this collaboration project.

watch

movie poster

skateboard decks

So these are the last three projects I did for my computer graphic class last semester (not including a portfolio project, which was just a document with all the projects we did throughout the class).  The top is a watch drawn in Adobe Illustrator.  It is based on two real watches (the band from one and the face from another).  The second is a movie poster.  I changed it a bit after class based on feedback received in peer review.  For this project we had to come up with a basic concept for the movie.  My movie, titled "Divided" is a near future sci-fi drama starting Scarlett Johansson as dual roles.  The movie focuses on a pair of twin sisters, (Piper and Pepper) who find out one of them is a clone, but do not know which one. Each woman then questions what it means to be human, ect...  And plot twist... It turns out both of them are clones and the orignal died during the experiment and many other copies exist, ect.  The tag line is "A secret brought then together... now it will tear them apart."  I imagine it will also have Natalie Portman as a scientist and Tom Hiddleston as a love interest.  The direct I put on the poster is Nacho Vigalongo, whose done a few movies and I would love to see a sci-fi movie by him.  The last picture is a three part assignment, which we had to use Photoshop, Illustrator and a combination of both to make a set of three coordinating skateboard decks.  The first deck is all Photoshop.  The second is all Illustrator.  And the last is both programs.  I tried to design the boards to look good upside down, since skateboards often get flipped around.  My theme was a broken ball joint doll who is turning into crystals.

Music Inspiration

Alright, managed to finish this today!  Been SUPER BUSY with summer school doing very strange 'art' projects.  For music inspiration I decided to focus on bands and band shirts, (mostly rock).  My orignal idea was to do outfits inspired by Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Beyonce but once I started school I knew that would not happen.  The tank top is a shirt I actually owned (the version I owned was 3/4 sleeve) for the band Siouxsie and the Banshees.  The top under that is a No Doubt t-shirt (I had a different one with the band drawn as cartoons)

The last shirt is a Linkin Park shirt, and as many of you know (or may not know) one of the singers, Chester Bennington committed suicide earlier this month.  The band now has a new logo but I decided to do the old logo.  I grew up listening to this band, especially their first two albums.  I was very saddened to hear the news.

As much as I would love to include every band I ever loved, it would be too much!  For the pants I've included patches from the following bands (in no particular order):

Rolling Stones
Pink Floyd
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Offspring*
Kiss
ACDC
David Bowie (not a band but love him!)
Misfits
Nirvana
Led Zeppelin

I tried to choose bands that had iconic logos (and also easy to draw) I did NOT freehand any of these!  Anyway Offspring patch is particularly important because when my fiance and I started dating, he invited me to an Offspring concert. I was too embarrassed to tell him I had no idea who the band was and declined his offer.  After the concert, he gave me the patch.

And so, the last thing is the hair, which is inspired by Sia's famous wig. For more outfits for this doll drawn by me click here

Please check out the other great outfits for this month's theme!  So much variety!

So I've collected together various illustrations of people playing with paper dolls!  These are mostly from pintrest, so I don't know where all of them came from.  Some are from magazines, some are covers of paper doll sets, and some are illustrations.  If you know any infromation about anything that is not identified, or is incorrect, please let me know.  If you have any you'd like to add, also let me know and I'll link it in! 

Sally sent me a few more she found on Ebay, posted below.  Thanks Sally!
