WIGGIE

WIGGIE.

Big, Brash and Colorful....and those Wigs! 

Obviously a knockoff of 1960's Mod model Twiggy, this doll nevertheless has a charm all it's own.

SLUMBER PARTY.

Remember those days when an overnight party was referred to as a "Slumber Party"? Then it morphed into a "Sleepover" and now it's just "Hanging Out". These perky dolls knew how to do it right.

I've fashioned the original front and back covers into a bi-fold background to pose the dolls in front of.

 

LADIES HOME JOURNAL DOLLS

LADIES HOME JOURNAL DOLLS.

From 1900 on through the 1920's the magazine Ladies Home Journal featured an entire family of paper dolls in each issue. After mother had perused the fashions little girls would carefully cut out the dolls and paste them onto cardboard and a craze was born. This 100 year old pair are a good example.

BARBIE, SKIPPER & SKOOTER.

Here Barbie and her sister Skipper take Skipper's friend Skooter on a shopping spree, probably for back to school clothes. I have turned the original folder artwork into a tri-fold background to pose the dolls in front of as they try on their new purchases. Of course Barbie couldn't resist picking up a couple of things for herself as well.

 

EVALIN, A SPANISH FILM STAR

EVALIN, A SPANISH FILM STAR.

I'm really liking these boldly drawn yet subtly colored Spanish munecas recortables. I especially enjoy those like Evalin here with her period clothes. Very nice.
