Thoughts on Today’s Paper Doll
Melissa of Miss. Missy’s Paper Dolls and Julie of Paper Doll School have done such a better job of keeping up with this collaboration than I have. I confess I have several months drawn, but never finished.
My natural instinct is to feel guilty about this (I have an overdeveloped since of responsibility), but since in the last three months I have moved across the country, gotten a new job and moved in with my partner. I really don’t think I should feel the least bit guilty about any of it.
Inspiration for Today’s Paper Doll
The theme for September was pattern and I was super excited to explore that theme. I really love working with patterns, though I think some patterns are easier for me to draw than others. My fights with plaid are a thing that I wish I didn’t have quite so much. I also think some types of patterns render bettern in my style of pen and ink than others.
Anyway, since I knew the patterns were going to take center stage, I chose to do two very simple silhouettes for my paper doll outfits- a pair of a-line dresses. Neither of these pieces would be warm enough for Alaska in February without some serious tights. There was ice on my car last week! But they’re both fun and I can pretend warm weather is going to continue a little longer.
Specific Source Images: Well, I did look at some gourds, but… nothing I can point to today!

Last Thoughts
Be sure to go check out Paper Doll School, Miss. Missy’s Paper Dolls both of whom I know have some really fun versions of this month’s theme.
Last, but not least, Happy New Year to anyone celebrating! May your New Year be very sweet.
These are so cute, thank you! And there’s definitely no reason for you to feel guilty;you’re allowed to have more in your life than paper dolls! 😉
Another lovely set! And so much happy “life” stuff 🙂 Congrats on all of the above!!
Lovely costumes!
Just wanted to make sure I didn’t miss anything: there were no costumes of yours for this project on July and August, right? Thanks for your reply in advance.
I made a doll and outfits for 2017 and some of 2018. Would it be okay to share it on my DevArt page as long as I link back to yours (and the others that made some). Thanks!
It’s certainly fine with me! I’d love to see your work.
Did I somehow missed your October post of this collection or does it exist not at all?

I haven’t been able to be very engaged this year. So, I have missed a lot of months and am unlikely to do anymore this year.
