It’s the New Year.
Time for changes, adventure, excitement and a brand new paper doll series. Yay.

The Pixie paper dolls will go up every Sunday. They are, obviously, full color printable paper dolls inspired partly by Marisole and partly by the desire for another full color series. There will also be a few other major changes for the new year, but we’ll get to those as we do. I don’t want to say things and then have them not happen.
Unlike Marisole (whose hair is redrawn each time but nothing else is), the Pixie’s have their whole heads changed each time and this lets me play with characters and expressions and things in ways I can’t really with Marisole (well, I could, but I don’t cause it feels weird).
The first of the new paper doll series is Zoe. Zoe is named for a girl who I played with when I was in middle school. Since I live in graduate and international housing, the paper doll was also inspired by a Chinese girl who sat across from me in class for a semester. I really doubt she knew I was examining her face for future paper doll fodder or even noticed. The resulting doll looks nothing like her, but the early doodles did give me the confidence to try to draw epicanthic fold (I think it’s called) on a paper doll.
I love the dip-dyed hair!
Thanks for posting these paperdolls. It is hard to find cute paperdolls to download. I am trying to teach my granddaughter the joys of the paperdoll art. Little hands make mistakes cutting and we can always try another sheet. I really like that your dolls have the same body form and the fsshions can be used interchangeably on them all.
Great work!
I wish you had made black and white’s of the Pixie and Puck early dolls. There are so many I would have loved to color. Thanks for such amazing and exciting work. I have just about everything you’ve done because I like to color my own.
I wish I had thought to make some of my early work in black and white too. Here’s a post explaining why I don’t (or in some cases really can’t) go back and correct that problem: https://paperthinpersonas.com///2014/08/13/hey-why-isnt-that-paper-doll-available-in-black-and-white/
