Paper Doll Collaberation 2018 January Fairy Tale Theme

Base

Princess and the Frog, Sleeping Beauty

Cinderella

original sketch
I'm afraid I went a bit overboard with the new collaboration project for this month. I will be making outfits for this doll along with
PaperThinPersona
PaperDollSchool
and
PopCulturePaperDolls.  I had the honor of creating the doll base.  I always have a stack of 'base' ideas lying around and choose one for this years project.  I used Adobe Illustrator to slightly redesign the base, in hopes she could be posed in various ways.  Of course the base has a heavy anime influence and it's wonderful to see how each collaborators adjust this base to fit their own unique style. For the outfits, yes I did two pages of clothing!  I got a bit carried away.  The first sheet features Princess and the Frog and Sleeping Beauty.  I'll admit, neither is my 'favorite' fairy tale per the story but I love old vintage costumes and the 'pointy' princess hat.  The next sheet is Cinderella inspired, along with her rags outfit and a Rococo inspired dress.  I've spent more time on these then usual, as to fill a New Years Resolution of finishing projects early and cleanly.

Justin Giggles


Can you believe this month is almost over?  What's around the corner? Valentine's Day of course!  This paper doll might have the worst name (or best) Justin Giggles.  He's a little boy with 6 outfits, hats, and a stuffed dog and cat, who also have 2 outfits with some hats. This is from Easter 1992 of Sew Beautiful.  The artist is Theresa Borelli I believe.

Margaret O'brien








This is a large cut paper doll set featuring the young actress Margaret O'brien.  It has two dolls with outfits along with some accessories and a cute little doll whom has her own wardrobe.  This cut set has seen better days and has lots of small rips and tears.  This set is from 1944 and was published by Whitman. Below are some scans I took a while ago of the same outfits from an incomplete set I had before I got the set above,
