This project was started some time ago.
The image below is from my first thoughts on these little paper dolls.
The project was interrupted by a family bereavement and it seems my thought process regarding these has been lost too.
Today I'm looking again, trying to get a spark.
I will leave these somewhere visible and glance at them occasionally, that usually works.

Absolutely fascinating start ….you are making something entirely modern out of a traditional plaything!
These are fabulous. I have dressed dolls but never on top of the paper. GREAT !!!!!!!!!
I am 77 and still love paper dolls, although I haven't played with them in decades. Yours make me want to get back into it with real cloth for clothes.
Your dolls are so delightful Karen! I hope your spark of interest with them comes back, though I suppose how that works will vary from thing to thing. Paper dolls are one of those reminders of carefree childhood play... I was just thinking of making some small dress ornaments for my grand-daughter for Christmas but this might be a lot more fun. This was an uplifting view on my screen this morning, thank you for that.
Bereavement is derailing, but the ideas will return - maybe not the same, but something will grow from this seed.
I remember making my own paper dolls using the mail order catalogues. Don't suppose most little girls now would have a clue what they are.
