Jane Arden's Wardobe



This lovely newspaper features a paper doll of Jane Arden along with 7 outfits and a coat.  This is dated 10 13 1935.  The paper is a bit discolored from age. Jane is wearing a black and white striped top with a short white skirt with white shoes. The outfits include a pink dress with red pom pom at the neck and a red belt accent, it has matching coat that can be worn separately. There is a black dress with green ruffles at the straps, middle, and bottom of the gown.  She has shorts with a white top with a red bow at the collar.  Also a yellow pantsuit with belt and 3 buttons. One outfit I believe is a swimsuit with a brown top with bow and green bottoms. The white dress on the bottom has red accents around the straps and belt and it has matching shoes. There is a brown coat with white top that can be worn over many of the costumes.

Paper Doll Collaberation Project Favorite Seires

This months theme was Favorite Novels.  I decided to do Favorite series instead.  Most of the books I read are classic, sci-fi and horror.  I chose to draw Ozma of Oz from the Oz series by L Frank Baum.  I did not read all of the Oz books but read up to the 6th book "Emerald City of Oz".  I attempted to read the next book "Patchwork Girl of Oz" but the didn't get through it.  The second outfit is a Hogwarts uniform from the famous Harry Potter series by JK Rowling.
