Vinyl Wall Decals

So while in the fabric store the other day, I came across an intresting product.  Wallies vinyl decal featuring two dress up dolls.  I am pretty sure these are from vintage McCalls magazine but does not say Betsy McCall anywhere on the product.

The website also has a very cute doll house decal as well.

Vintage magazine ad Paper Dolls/ Naming Contest

Here are two women cut out from a vintage lingerie ad(?).  I am planing on designing a wardrobe for these since I think they would make perfect paper dolls.  These are from the late 40s or early 50s.  I've put up a poll to help pick names for these two, so please vote.

How to Draw and Paint Children

proportions

Here are some scanned pages from How to Draw and Paint Children by Viola French published by Walter T Foster.  The book is too large for my scanner so I used my portable scanner to scan the pages.  Not all the pages are scanned.  I do not know the date this was published, Amazon says 1986 but the artist died in 1978.  The book features babies, children of various ages, faces, hands, and many other helpful references.  Also, the book is fairly inexpensive.
