Happy Earth Day! There’s an Earth and we should be grateful or else we’d not exist. So, I’m glad for that. Beyond that, I try to avoid politics on this little corner of the web. There are other corners of the web for politics. Here is the corner of paper dolls.

Two of my favorite recent paper dolls are Constance and Prudence, who I’ve always thought of as best friends, and so today I present them both in black and white for coloring enjoyment. Each paper doll was meant to have a distinct casual and slightly indie style. Prudence is a little bit vintage and Constance is a little bit tomboy. The t-shirt styles for the Constance paper doll are based on mandala designs which are simplified for the small size.

So, today, I’d like to also call attention to a new blog with some delightful black and white paper dolls called Inflammation Of…, which is about both paper dolls and raising a child with chrons disease. I have had several thank yous sent to me over the years from parents with health issues in their families who like the paper dolls and I always feel very touched that my paper dolls can help in any small way for people in need. Plus there’s a whole set of clothes for her paper dolls inspired by Scoopy-Doo and who isn’t in favor of paper dolls inspired by Scooby-Doo? I loved Scooby-Doo when I was a kid.
(Actually, I still sorta love Scoopy-Doo, but I try to be more of an adult and not admit these things in public.)
Constance has awesome shoes (of course!). It’s nice too that you can mix and match between the two of them.
Just catching up here and wanted to also say: good luck with the job search, etc. Our library just went through a massive overhaul but there’ve been no layoffs and lots of people retired and freed up choice positions, so the economy looks like its turning slowly.
Blah blah blah boring real life stuff. Thanks for more paper dolls!
: D
Yeah, the reason I do so many “serial” paper dolls is to increase the options for mix and match play. I think the fun of paper dolls is to have lots of clothes, so I try to achieve that.
thank you! im using these to teach my year 1 pupils! i think they’ll love it! love your works! they are truly incredible!
