When I was working on these double doll sets, I realized I hadn’t done any paper dolls for the Dames and Dandies with glasses yet. That seemed like a serious omission given that I wear contacts and can barely see without them. So, I knew I wanted a doll with glasses. The doll on the left has a hairstyle based on how a student who worked for me wore her hair and the doll on the right has blond highlights. That’s actually her second hair style. I really didn’t like the first one I designed, once I saw it on the doll.

That happens sometimes, because I draw all the hair separately and sometimes once I get it fitted to the dolls head, I’m not sure that I like it as much as I did in theory. Fortunately, it’s not hard to draw another one and through the “Power of Photoshop” there’s a lot of options.

Coloring wise, these versions of Beatrix have, of course, the same skin-tone as the other versions of Beatrix. I did however choose to match the paper doll’s glasses to her toenails, like you do.

Meanwhile, I posted a few progress images over on Patreon if you’d like to see some work in progress and my #100dressesproject continues on Instagram. Almost done! I’m in the 90s. 

And, as always, I’d love to hear what you think about today’s paper dolls.

    • The style of the thumbnails means that overlapping will happen. I try to strike a balance between showing the pieces in color and black and white equally, also trying to display different details as I think they are important. Faces, for example, I think are really important to be seen in both. The collage is a way of making sure people know there’s both a black and white and a color version of each design available, plus I think it looks nice. There is never overlapping on the PDF images which are intended for printing.

  1. When I saw the title, I misread it as a pair of Beatrix Potter paper dolls, and I was curious how you were going to make two Beatrix Potter dolls.
    They are not, but I like these dolls.
