I know that blue mostly shows up in medieval manuscripts because lapis was a popular coloring agent for ink, but I still will always think of it as a medieval color. There’s something super magical about the color blue to me! It can be masculine or very feminine and thanks to indigo dye it has been around for a long long time. Woad, which is a yellow flowering plant, actually makes a bright blue die and it was used extensively before indigo came to Europe.
It also one of my favorite colors to make skin tones- I’ve done a fair number of blue skinned paper dolls over the years from fairies to aliens.
Anyway, I thought it would be fun to show off some blue paper dolls as we ease into September.
25 Paper Dolls In Blue
As I selected which blue paper dolls to feature here, I really wanted to show blue as a historical color- like this 1920s dress and this medieval one- and blue as a preppy color like this modern paper doll. In my wardrobe, mostly blue shows up in my jeans, but my paper dolls have more fun than that.
Paper dolls always get more fun with their clothing than I do.
