Sometimes. I forget paper dolls are for children. I know that seems like a “duh” statement. Of course, you might say, paper dolls are for children. But sometimes, despite myself, I still forget. So when people post about how much their children love the paper dolls, it always makes me smile a little. I don’t draw specifically for children. I don’t think of children much, but when I discover some child has been made happy by my paper dolls, it sort of makes me happy.
Sort of happiness via proximity.

Obviously, today’s Curves is based on my current sort of sleepy, mildly out of it state which seems to be rather par for the course lately. Somehow when I was applying for grad-school people failed to mention that balancing work, school and everything else might be rather hard while also looking for employment. Of course, I love my job (really, I have the best job on earth), I love my classes (mostly) and I don’t have much of a social life (seriously), but it’s all a little overwhelming at times.
So, to provide some distraction, at the moment I have a contest of sorts going on. It’s more like a drawing really.
The Contest
The question is: Which paper doll series on the blog is your favorite and what makes it your favorite? A one word answer will not count, the “why” is very important to me.
The Rules:
1) One answer per person.
2) Contest will run for this week.
3) At the end of the week, I will put the names of everyone who answered into a hat, draw one randomly, and announce the winner on next Monday with the Marisole post.
The Prize: A custom paper doll for a series of your choice- Curves, Marisole, Pixie & Puck or Flora (though Flora has to stay in the Regency Era).
Of course, if you already answered, your name has been added to my word file from which I will extract the winner via a complicated method of dice rolling or name from hat drawing.
See my post on Marisole for my drawing entry =)
I love the bunny, its little suit is so adorable!
Thank you, Sara. It’s actually based on my stuffed bunny I have had since I was young. He has several other outfits, but the suit is his oldest.
she needs fuzzy bunny slippers!
I like pixie and puck the best because they each seem to have their own distinct personalities, that marisol does not because of the same name and similar looking dolls.
She does need fuzzy bunny slippers, Dorothy. I shall consider that for the future. 🙂
