I’m so excited to share that my newest paper doll book, Big Eyed Girlies, is officially available for pre-order from Paper Doll Review! If you’re a fan of dolls like Blythe, Pullip, Bratz, Rainbow High then you’ll feel right at home here. And if you love whimsy, color and fun, this book has all those in spades.
A love letter to everything I adore about paper dolls, I packed Big Eyed Girlies with whimsy, nostalgia, and all the creative fun that comes from cutting out tiny paper outfits.
Big Eyed Girlies has three big-eyed dolls and over 65 pieces to dress them up in. That’s a lot of outfit options.
Because paper dolls deserve variety, don’t you think?
From mod brights to romantic dresses, casual styles to circus whimsy, this book covers it all. One of my favorite spreads pairs soft pastels with dramatic black for a lace-and-ruffles tea party look that’s part Victorian, part Rococo, and 100% fun. There’s even a sundress with a video-game-inspired landscape, and some gloriously over-the-top ringmaster jackets with braided trim and thigh-high boots.
The best thing? Every single outfit fits all three dolls. So, no paper doll gets left out of the outfit switching fun here.
A huge thank-you to two amazing women who helped make this book happen. Jenny Taliadoros at Paper Doll Review has always been such a kind and supportive publisher. Julie Matthews took my illustrations and worked her magic, adding polish, shadows, and depth that really brought everything to life.
Big Eyed Girlies was such a joy to create. I poured so much of what I love into it. Paper Doll fashion, playful nostalgia, and a big dash of whimsy, these are the things I love to illustrate and share.
So, if you’re a collector, a fellow artist, or just someone who never stopped loving paper dolls, I hope Big Eyed Girlies brings a smile to your face.
