Paper Dolls
When I was a girl in the 1960's I loved my paper dolls. I still do, I guess, as my favorite part of being in the online virtual world of Second Life is buying and changing the clothes of my little puppet self (or avatar). I also got to play with my mom's paper dolls from the 1930's and 40's. The gowns were so glamorous!
A Paper Doll Childhood, created by KarenTBTEN, has a lot of useful links and resources as well as pretty pictures that inspire me to want to get out my old paper dolls and play with them again.
Tarot Art Dolls
I have long had an interest in tarot cards. These days I access my intuition more directly but there is still something very alluring about these cards that are like illustrations without a written story. I also love the relatively new fiber art form of making "art dolls"...dolls that don't always represent the human form as we know it. So I was happy to find a lens about Tarot Art Dolls by MeltedRachel, one of my favorite artist lensmasters. She writes about her inspiration, shows the initial sketch, the painting, and then the doll. Cool!
