Paperdoll Calendars are Ready!



Here they are! My Paperdoll 2007 Calendars.
They were printed on high quality matte paper with archival inks so they are sutible for framing later if you like them that much, or you could cut them out and make new outfits for them as well. They are for sale now at the shop! The dates were kept at the bottom so the prints were in tact for later - the rough edges show the painting lines which i liked. I used the classic typeface "Venitian" as it speaks to the age of the papers.
This was a fun project for me this year. Paperdolls have always been a part of my life - from ones we made long ago as children - to enjoying them with my daughters when they were young. The ones we always loved best were the ones we made up ourselves. So here are my twelve ladies, ready to play in 2007!

Hi Susan! The calendar is just GORGEOUS...such fun! I loved paper dolls as a little tyke and still do! I think that you left me a comment today, but it was anonymous...I just wanted to let you know that my site is now http://www.geekxnerd.com not http://www.geekxnerd.com/blog.html. Just so you can update for the next time that you visit! I'll probably pop in with my mom sometime soon and I'll have a special ornament in tow!
