This is a paper doll I made with the Son Of Doll Parts sheet of rubberstamps from Alpha Stamps. I call this one Dahlia--the face just looks like a Dahlia to me.
I started with a head stamp, a corset stamp, and four separate stamps for the arms and legs. The leg stamps were already patterned. After I colored in all the pieces with colored pencil, I discovered that there were no shoulders to attach to the head, so I just cut something freehand to see how it worked.
As you can see, she's got a bit of a linebacker build--not too heinous, but not really delicate enough for the rest of her. The sleeves are made from trimmed off gaffer tape border that I got from the $1 bins at Target. I made the skirt from some gauzy pink ribbon that was left over from something, and the ribbon across the top of the skirt is from an embellishment fiber set from Michaels.
Dahlia is just glued together--she is not mobile at all, so I decided to make some others with jointed bodies. The Twins are the result:
Basically, they are the same technique and materials. I cut out something that better approximated shoulders and neck for these girls I also added small crystal brads for their hips and shoulders. You can't tell from this photo, but I also used Aleene's paper glaze on their hair bows and waists to hold some opalescent glitter.
I think they all look like circus performers, with their gauzy skirts, patterned tights and corsets.
