Happy Friday! Today, I am super pleased to share Batari, a new B pose doll. Batari is an Indonesian name that means Goddess. Batari went through a few different versions and face lifts before I was settled on her. I don’t want to share things I don’t like, so I sometimes that means revisions are needed. I am very happy with how she came out in the end, even if the process got a little messy.
There might have been some cursing. I’m just saying.
As you might have noticed, there’s not just one Batari paper doll today, there’s two!
I realized I could fit two of any of the dames dolls on a single page and I decided that I would create double doll sets for all the Dames. That’s Abigail, Aisha, Akiko, Alice (in the A Pose) and Beatrix, Benedita, Bridget (in the B Pose). Since I was working on Batari at the time of this realization, her first sets is not one Batari, but two.
Maybe they’re identical twins.
I wanted to do two very different feeling paper dolls. So, the doll on the left has a casual hair style and the doll the right as a fancy up-do and painted nails.
Just like any of the other B Pose paper dolls, Batari can wear any of the B pose clothing, of course. I personally think the casual doll on the left might like some boho clothing while the doll on the left seems more like a gothic fahion girl perhaps. Of course, either could wear this super fantasy kaftan or this armored fantasy gown.
My paper dolls lead interesting lives based on their clothing options, I like to think.

Oh, those dresses…lovely.
We all live interesting lives based on our clothing options. Mine, for instance…I embody Frump at the moment. But if I were wearing one of those dresses on Instagram, my life would be less Frumpy I’m sure.
And wasn’t The Hundred Dresses a kids’ book?I have fuzzy memories of reading it.
There was a kids book by Eleanor Estes called The Hundred Dresses. It was published in 1945. It’s an amazing book and it was a bit of the inspiration for the idea of trying to draw 100 dresses.
