After nearly a year of thinking about it, talking about, working on it sporadically.......I finally finished my original paper dolls last night! Here is a sneak peak at my paper doll, "Dee Dee," based on the Waldorf dolls.

There are also a play outfit, a winter coat and a party dress. I was so excited (and nervous!) when I dropped the originals off at the local professional printer today. I got a wonderful price and they will be done on fantastic papers, but I'm nervous about leaving my precious art work somewhere. I got separation anxiety! It's only till Friday, but still....there is a lot of work represented here---countless hours of planning, editing, correcting, coloring. I hope I'm safe in assuming that professionals will take very good care with my work :0
I've been very busy in the past week doing things that involve my displays. I dyed two tablecloths (and all my hang tags!) a lovely light blue and I'm currently working on decoupaging a vintage suitcase. It's about 1/2 done, but I think it's going to be great. It is just to set things on or against, to help with having various heights for display. I have done some chalkboard signs and completed many of the hang tags, as well. Still have a few more signs and hang tags to do; Jim is working on staining and finishing a wonderful wooden lazy susan for me to display my Baby Dumplings on. They will be in a white basket peering out at passersby ;) I think they will be irresistible. I just wish I had about 10 more made :( Have to do a simple coverlet for the doll bed. Jim is also going to paint a few baskets and my metal candelabra.
So much to finish! I still have acorn dolls to do and two more (hopefully!) Waldorf dolls. Running....out....of....TIME!
