Chili

 

Oh wait, were you expecting a different Chili? perhaps something more like https://missmissypaperdolls.blogspot.com/2022/09/chilis-captivating-clothes.html

On that Post RLC commented that she was expecting a chili pepper paper doll.  So here we go! April Fools! Enjoy the anthropomorphic chili peppers in red and green with 8 dresses.  I designed this at work using Photopea and some backgrounds from Google.  I tried to make an outfit for each color of the rainbow (red, orange/yellow, green blue purple and toss in some pink and white for good measure). Also I noticed I spelled Chilli there are variations to the spelling.

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.

100 days 2019 now in color

Often times, I NEVER get around to coloring things.  So here's a quick color of 100 days project from last year, since I'm working on another 100 day challenge for this year.  This year, however, after day 50 I will be coloring the pages.  Anyway to see the black and white versions, click  here.  I made two dolls they can share clothing but a few pairs of shoes are specific to each doll because of the different skin tones.  Some mix and match outfits and some full outfits in different styles including lolita, decora, vintage, punk, steampunk and goth.

100 Days project

Days 87-94 featured here.  Two hair styles, one dresses, two pairs of shoes, one top, one pair of pants, and one purse.  I could not fit as much on this page because of the long hair styles.  This was boho chic inspired, kinda ended up more hippie fashion.  Almost done!

Collaborative Project 2019 April Fandom/Cosplay

base
Can you believe it's almost MAY! Been very busy with school, almost over only two weeks left.  Above is my very crowded page of clothing for this months theme.  I did a lot of mix and match pages.  For fandom, I decided to focus on graphic tees and printed bottoms of popular fandoms such as: Game of Thrones, Star Wars, Harry Potter, DC comics, Mario(video game leggings), My little Pony (looks bootleg) and a Sailor Moon inspired print skirt.  for the cosplay outfit, I chose the character Sakura from Card Captor Sakura anime.  

Please note I will be signing all my art as Melissa Pepe now.
 Make sure to check out the other blogs/artist to see what they have designed for this theme

Mimi a Mini Paper Doll

Here's a black and white single page paper doll I created named Mimi a mini paper doll. Mimi has 10 outfits and 5 sets of shoes along with 3 hair accessories.

Paper Dolls

This set compliments the set I posted yesterday. It doesn't have the most imaginative title, it's simply called "Paper Dolls" and features the other two doll bases from the original American Beauties set.   The two dolls are named Marie and Eleanor.  This set is also by Rueben Lilja Co. and was published in 1951.  The book has four pages of clothing, two for each doll.

American Beauties Paper Dolls

Ruth and Elizabeth

This is a set by Reuben H. Lilja Co. published in 1951.  It is a reprint of an earlier set of the same name that had four different dolls (I have a second reprint I will post next with the other two dolls).  This set has 4 dolls, but they are the same on the front and back named Ruth and Elizabeth. It has four page of outfits, two pages for each doll. Lilja co has made some of my favorite sets, I love the clothing and the tabs and the small illustrations in the book.

Paper Doll Collaberation 2018 Animals

The theme for May was favorite Animals (or pets?)  so I created four outfits (surprise they fit on a page!).  The first one is a cat maid, inspired by anime like Toyko Mew Mew.  (best not to look up cat maid, you get some creepy stuff..).  She has little cat shoes as well.  The second is a Turtle print Turtleneck dress, because pun fun!  Next, it's getting hot here, so some summer outfits.  A dolphin print tank with starfish shorts (starfish are animals).  And last, I am a dog person, so a dog t-shirt with shorts and faux dog tag necklace.

Model Paper Dolls

This uncut book has 4 dolls, two men and two women along with 4 pages of clothing.  This set if from Saalfield and was published in 1940. It uses the same clothing and poses as Hollywood Fashion Dolls. But the dolls are redrawn. 

B Boilesen Paper Doll

This groovy paper doll doesn't have much to help identify.  There is a small signature that I think says B Boilesen.  It is on a cardboard like sheet.  I believe it is foreign.  And I believe it is from the 60s or early 70s.  But I can't say for sure.

Paper Doll Collaberation 2018 April Favorite Flower

So this months theme was favorite flower.  I'll admit I rushed lining this one a bit to get it done in time, so it's a bit rough around the edges.  My favorite flower to draw are roses, hence my character Princess Rose whose always wearing something like the first dress. This dress has matching shoes similar to last months shoes.  Then I drew a dress based on lily of the valley, my current favorite flower (it changes) the hat was inspired by one of my favorite artist Macota Takahashi. like this hat It was supposed to be a cloche, but ended up looking like a swimmers cap, so I drew a swimsuit with a floral print.

Paper Doll Collaberation 2018 March Now and Then/Then and Now

OMG totally spaced posting this yesterday! It's been a crazy week for me.

Alright this months theme was "Now and Then" so taking a vintage outfit and making it modern and taking a modern outfit and making it vintage in sorts is how I interpreted it..  For the first outfit I used a fashion plate for inspiration here  and made a casual every day version inspired by the details.  For the second dress I took a casual every day outfit here and created a vintage dress inspired by the fabric and patterns.  The lines on the bottom of the dress are supposed to be the stitched detail of the jeans.  Added some shoes and hats.  The hats, I have no idea if they will actually fit.

Sam Ivy Valentine

I actually made these outfits last year but never posted the page.  This uses an old base I designed called Samatha Ivy Jones.  More outfits for her here.  This is a Valentine's inspired page featuring pink and red outfits along with lace and heart motifs.

back of page

quick color in Photoshop for fun

This single page paper doll is from the Katy Keen comics and features her blonde friend Debby. The top of this old comic paper doll is a bit frayed, cutting off just the top of her hair.  She has seven stylish outfits.  I don't have a date for this.  On the back is a template of a dress that can be colored and designed by the readers.  I did my own quick color in Photoshop.
