Black and White Printable Paper Dolls…. Marisole Monday & Friends

I’ve been busily converting old color Marisole Monday paper dolls into black and white files. Sometimes, this is a totally painless process, but the older the files get and the more… cranky the line-work becomes. Still, it’s been rather fun and it is probably the only time I will ever do this.

So, rather than a “real” Marisole Monday post today, I offer three old Marisole Monday sets in black and white… all historically themed

First, let’s take a short trip to the 18th century, shall we? Fourth of July paper doll from several years ago. She had a friend, but I haven’t converted that one to black and white yet.

Though personally, I’ve never been that keen on the fashions of the 1910’s, I really love how this paper doll came out in color and I think she’s just as cute in black and white. She was inspired, though I don’t think I mentioned this in the original post in part by this doll from Madame Alexander of CJ Walker.

I do love the 1920s, as you can see from the color version of this paper doll, but I do think that Marisole makes an odd flapper girl.

  1. These are wonderful and are some of my favorite sets. I am a history teacher and I would really love to see more historical paper doll sets from you, maybe the Regency? I know you did one set, but another would be wonderful, or perhaps something earlier like the 1500s or 1400s.

    I bet Marisole would look great as a Tudor lady, or as great as anyone could look in those stiff dresses. I’d also love to see her as a rural pioneer. I hope you’re still taking suggestions. I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy checking the site to see what’s new.

    Thank you for all your very hard work.

    • I’m so glad you like the historical sets. They are my favorites as well, but they are very time consuming. In general, they take me twice to three times longer than a non-historical set. I have often thought about doing something Tudor for Marisole, it just hasn’t worked out very well. Perhaps I will try again.

  3. that’s weird ~ i left a comment on this entry last week. musta gotten eaten.

    anyway, it said something about how much i love all those shoes!

    : D

    • I rescued the comment from the spam filter. I don’t know what it’s problem was… I did up the settings, because things have been slipping through…. anyway you know how I feel about shoes. 🙂
