It’s 90 degrees here today and while I’m enjoying my day off, I do wish it wasn’t quite so hot. I spent most of the day roasting in my apartment debating turning on my air conditioner- I am glad I eventually did- and working on this post.

I could have done it yesterday and had it up by midnight, but I decided to go to a friend’s house and play board games and eat burgers. I do not regret this decision. I did have my sketch book with me which caused the following conversation.
Random guy: What are you drawing?
Me: Paper dolls.
Random guy: Long awkward pause.
I love that pause. 🙂
In other news, Paper Doll Garden is a new paper doll blog I found (Okay, new to me, it’s actually been around for a while) and the art is very good, plus there are males. Males, I tell you. This is highly exciting to me. I do wish she’d post in larger images as well as PDFs since I don’t usually print out, I just like to look. Though there was a time when I only had PDFs on the site, so I won’t judge too loudly.
I love her watercolor based style and I wish her much luck with her blog. The more paper doll bloggers the better, I say. Speaking of paper doll bloggers, if you have a blog of any kind, paper doll or otherwise, please comment and let me know. I’m always looking for new paper doll or paper doll related blogs.
Also, I have a poll as many of you know. It can be found on the sidebar. Is sticking a poll about my blog schedule on a late post ironic or just amusing?
Edit (10/7/2013): I just posted this paper doll set in black and white, so if you want to color her- now you can!
Yay a new blog to follow, thanks for finding it. Your gowns are lovely.
that new blog does have PDFs which are larger versions. her username at the end of each post is hyperlinked to a PDF of that post’s dress.
actually not her username but the name of the doll and the dress number which leads to a PDF
Neat new paper doll blog and I really really like the purple dress with the flowers. I think it’s great you have an Asian paper doll now.
Yeah, Ana I saw the PDF’s which are great if you want to print out the paper doll, but since I don’t normally print, I like to have an easily viewable online version just to look it. It’s a minor compliant about a really wonderful blog. And since there was a time when I just did PDF’s and didn’t have another option on my blog, I shouldn’t really complain to loudly. 🙂
Hey- I just wanted to thank you for mentioning my site on your blog. I really appreciate it! I definitely will keep your suggestion of bigger JPEGs in mind. 🙂
I’m very flattered about what you said of my artwork. I do have one male paper doll, but I admit I have only made one outfit for him thus far. I plan on making more soon though-I hope you enjoy them! Thankyou again and have an awesome day!-Rebekah
It was my pleasure to mention your blog, Rebekah. You produce wonderful paper dolls and I look forward to seeing whatever new you post. 🙂
