Baby Tenderlove coloring book paper doll
I am very surprised how many Mattel dolls were made into paper dolls, especially in the 70s and 80s. It seemed every doll had at least one paper doll or coloring book with a paper doll. Many of the baby dolls got their own paper doll, and I will post some of those sets later.

Funky Fabrics of the 1960s
I found an intresting book in the library called "Funky Fashions of the 1960s" (almost spelled that wrong!) by the author Joy Shih from the Schiffer publishing company. I did not include all the pages here, but I loved the use of a 'paper doll' mock shirt. This is a great reference for drawing retro fabrics or textures.

Heidi Fairy Tale Style paper doll
So I just received the latest issue of OPDAG's Paper Doll Studio, babies and children theme. This is the doll I designed for that issue. Her name is Heidi, her outfits are inspired by fairy tales and Lalaloopsy dolls. I've done some more pages for this doll, but I have not colored them and will not for a while (other projects to finish first).

Mother's Day Paper doll color
Here's the Mother's Day paper doll I've designed in color. I decided to use crayons to give it a childish feel. The colors did not scan in the best, so I adjusted the scans in photoshop. Busy weekend planned so many not post.
