Today’s Printable Paper Doll Inspirations: Armor and Things
Today’s paper doll is Marisole in some leather armor over some chainmail. I wanted her hair to both be lady-like, but also practical. Every paper doll needs some weapons as well.
But there’s bigger news today than this paper doll, I gotta say.
When I set a goal, I tend to reach it. I don’t stop until I meet my deadlines. When I say there will be five posts a week, than by gosh there are going to be five posts a week. This can be a great trait, but it also means sometimes I need a swift kick in the rear to realize that I have to set realistic goals.
As some of you know, I am starting a graduate program in the fall while also working full time. Originally, I planned to create 60 paper doll posts for August, September and October.
Except I couldn’t do it. Every time I picked up my pencil, I felt intense stress. What if I didn’t make enough paper dolls? What if I failed? What if I let people down somehow?
I want to enjoy my hobby and be realistic about what I can or can not get promise my readers. I can’t keep up the current pace of production, work full time, be in grad school, and have any time for anything else.
The big news is this: The blog will be switching to a three day a week schedule- Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
There maybe an extra post here and there when I feel like it, but no promises. I am contemplating different changes as well, such as doing a Marisole Monday post every Monday, again, but truthfullly I haven’t decided quite yet what exactly the future will look like.
For now, I hope you enjoy today’s paper doll warrior. There will be a new addition to the 1920s Poppet series on Wednesday.
As always, I love to hear from you all in the comments.

I LOVE your paperdolls! But self-care is more important than any blog so do what you need to do and we will still be here. <3
Brain meltdown from overwork helps nobody and creates no paper dolls. Some dolls are better than none. Good luck in grad school!
I’ve been amazed you’ve kept up as long as you have with this schedule. I always enjoy reading about your paper dolls.
Congratulations and yes, in grad school, that extra time is precious. Take care of yourself and we will cheer you on! 🙂 The new schedule sounds quite reasonable.
Good luck to you!
It is again a very lovely paper doll and I’m envious of adventures she might be having. I like the articulations of her armour.
