I found a box of
paper doll dresses the other day....they made my heart go
pitty pat! It brought back fond memories of childhood....which was quickly replaced with 'my oh my, this has become a dinosaur act of playing now days'. The gift of a new booklet of
paper dolls at pertinent gift giving occasions was always welcome. I thoroughly loved cutting out the various patterned jumpers and dresses...and upon reflection, I think that is all I did. Preparing the dresses for the imitation doll house closet was more fun than simulating fake
paper doll families. I loved the
itty bitty paper accessories...odd shaped hats...purses...corsages...and stuffed animals, and the over the top mixtures of colors and patterns are still my favorite.
So...FYI: much art may be featuring paper doll dresses in the future. Below is the first installment. The quote is one of my favorites!
