Various Greeting Cards

Here are some various vintage greeting cards.  I have not been posting as often because I now have two part time jobs to keep me busy.

Muny Opera Dressographs

Very much like the Movie Dressographs, the Muny Opera Dressographs feature actors from the world of Opera along with 3 costumes.  The above paper doll is of Audrey Christie.  There is no date on this one. The page is from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Mommy and Me

Here is a four page paper doll I've designed featuring a mother and daughter with matching outfits. Some of the dresses are more complimentary then straight up matching.  I used old ads and sewing patterns as inspiration.  It is not colored, I thought mothers and daughters would have fun coloring the pages together.  Maybe mom does the mom outfit, and daughter does the one for the little girl.  These dolls are hand drawn in pencil then lined ink.  There are 19 matching outfits for a total of 38 dresses.  There are also 3 pairs of shoes per doll.  I did 'test' the dolls and one of the mother's outfits does not fit 100%, I haven't fixed it yet.
