Introducing Her Ladyship: A Paper Doll Mini-Series

ladyship-wig-1In life, there are certain rules, like stopping at red lights and not stealing library books. One of my rules is: Don’t waste blog content.

In that vein, I’ve decided to make my new fantasy set, Her Ladyship, a mini-series. There will be a new page every Friday until sometime in December. (I haven’t decided if I am going to skip Halloween to post something more festive.)

My plan (though we all know about the best laid plans of mice and men) is that I will post these Friday paper doll updates in addition to my regular two posts a week. For those keeping score, that means three paper doll updates a week.

Pretty good deal, no?

Also for those keeping score, Her Ladyship is the update of the Lady of the Manor paper doll set that I have mentioning for the last several weeks. You can see some of the early doodles and a sketchbook page. This is what she turned into, though there’s nine more pages to share.

She’s not a princess, though she may yet marry a prince. Rather, I imagine she is a noble women and she may or may not be married. Her dresses are all based on fantasy versions of Italian renaissance dress and, of course, she has wigs. Only one wig today, but I promise in later pages there are a lot more wigs to be had. Most of the wigs have floating tabs to help keep them on the paper doll’s head.

Thoughts? Opinions? Feelings about my ten week plan? Feel free to let me know.

  1. Lovely! I love your hand-drawn patterns. And 10 weeks?! That’s it? I’m not ready for the holidays yet…. Can’t wait to see more of this series!

  2. Beautiful! As far as your plan, I’m all for it… More well-drawn and researched dolls a week? Yes please!

    • I would be hesitant to call this series “researched”, unless screen captures of the Borgias tv show counts as research. 🙂

  3. Started looking through some old posts, and I honestly can’t believe it’s been almost four years since this went up, it sure doesn’t feel like it.
