Drawing Challenge : Dress

Am I the only one who remembers paper dolls? It seems they are now a thing of the past. I have many fond memories of hours upon hours spent creating & playing with paper dolls. So when I saw the theme for this weeks drawing challenge I knew that I would be reliving a happy part of my childhood.





I am having way too much fun, time to move on to some adult activities. 
Thanks Patrice for inviting me to participate & bringing out my inner child.

  1. Hi Sally. No you are not the only one who played with paper dolls. My sister and I spent hours dressing and undressing our paper dolls. The other day in a book store I notice quite a large selection of paper dolls for sale. I wonder how many kids actually play with them or if it's adults who buy them for ourselves?

  2. Oh la la. Your paper dolls even look French. I enjoyed playing with paper dolls, both the store-bought kind, and the ones we would cut out of catalogs.

  4. I remember them too, it was a favorite hobby for me.
    I do have a set of paper dolls I did for my grand years ago when she was way too young, but now I need to pull them out and introduce her to this fun activity. Thanks Sally for the reminder.

  5. I'd say she's one of the best dressed! What a fun challenge! Last year at an estate sale I found a bunch of paper dolls -- all cut out and good to go. Yes, I bought them!

    I liked to play paper dolls too! How fashionable your paper dolls are! My dolls liked to be fashionable and also wanted to wear Japanese kimono!

  12. Hi Sally, You're not the only one...lol. I used to make tons of paper dolls for my daughters to dress up and am thinking of one for the new DC challenge. Loving yours! Before the summer I made a hinging mermaid and then made her a flapper friend in jet black hair and jet beads. So much fun!
