When I was in middle school, I played a character named Astrid in a school play… but that is neither here nor there.
Personally, I really like her axe. That’s probably my favorite part of the paper doll… is that weird?

So, Boots asked: since you do a lot of coloring, etc. on the computer, what (if anything) do you do with the original art? Also: have you ever considered attending a paper doll convention?
Well, I draw in sketchbooks. So, my paper dolls end up in sketchbooks and the sketchbooks get labeled with the date and the year that they were done and get stuck in a bookcase. I don’t really “do” anything with the original art, except save it, because someday I might need it for something…. I keep a xerox of every common base paper doll (Marisole, Pixie & Puck, Dictionary and Shadow and Light) in a binder, so that I can have something draw off of without damaging the original art. I live in terror of losing the original art, since I tend to beat up my copies.
As for going to a paper doll convention, I totally want too. I’ve wanted to go to one for forever, but they’ve never been in locations or at times that were convenient for me. Living in Alaska was a huge hurdle and then school was a huge hurdle, but I’m hoping next year or something, I might get to go to one.
Mostly, I just think it would be cool to meet people who get as excited as I do about these paper people I love to draw so much. 🙂
Speaking of paper people, I was pawing around the internet and I found this beautiful horoscope paper doll on a dutch (I think…) language website. She’s really lovely and I adore her “theme costumes”.
Hi! I really like the axe too!!
By the way, the website is Danish and belongs to a magazine my grandma used to read. Funny stumbling upon it here 🙂
Danish… excellent. I knew it was Germanic, but that was where my knowledge stopped.
I’m so glad you like her Axe too. 🙂
I like her boots and that little poncho thing. I’d totally wear them!
Very cute. She looks like she comes from the same universe as the “Spirit of the North” paper doll.
Yeah, she does. Clearly, it’s a rather cold sort of place…
She’s adorable! I love the viking inspired clothing (especially the belt with the red tie!).
That’s my favorite dress too, Toria.
wow ~ i am ridiculously behind, but trying to catch up today.
love the palette on this and her cute braids!
