Here is an updated photo of my paper doll. Now that i have my camera back i can shoot her standing up, not making her suffer the indignity of being scanned.
This week's challenge on the Mixed Media Monday challenge blog is to create a paper doll or an art doll. Here is what i made:It comes across kind of squished on the scan. It is actually three dimensional and looks very cool standing up. But i misplaced my camera - so this will have to do for now!
The head and shoulders came from the anthropologie catalog. The bodice is wrapped in organza ribbon and adorned with paper flowers.The skirt was inspired by martha stewart's paper trees. a series of 5 squares were folded to make each layer. I used sheet music. martha used green card stock.
The hole thing is structured on a chopstick and stuck in a spool of thread. (martha used a skewer).Special note to all the participants in the challenge: I want you to know i look at each one of the artists work - but it takes a really long time to leave a comment for each of you. So i want you all to know i really appreciate seeing your art, especially the ladies over in Europe. it is so cool that we get to connect like this! My mother is Finnish, unfortunately i don't speak or read it. But it is fun to share our art over the globe!

This is a very glamorous art doll, Diane - I love it. I second what you said about sharing art with like minded people all over the world. It is really like a global village on the internet - and Australia doesn't feel so far away, LOL! Diane
What a wonderful doll!
