NOT YOUR MOTHER'S PAPER DOLL
Animated messengers of your greetings, Paper Dolls hop, leap, and dance—doll making without sewing! Collage art in human form and more—make a whole family or a representation of your deepest feelings, most cherished beliefs. Art Paper Dolls are the bridge between doll making and journaling, and can utilize all the techniques of today’s journal, collage, and rubber stamp artists. Working intuitively with all those gorgeous fibers, papers, rubber stamps, threads, and embellishments you’ve been collecting, we’ll play with creating paper dolls, and perhaps even environments in which to house them. Paper dolls may also be used as a jumping-off point for a fabric doll design.
