Vintage Paper Doll With a Modern Twist.
Do you remember paper dolls from your childhood?
They were printed on thin card . . . and came with paper clothes. . . with those cute little tabs.
Paper dolls may have lost some popularity over the years, but I've transformed a vintage graphic into a new version of the paper doll. This is Pearl, my 'Keeper of the Buttons' and she proudly keeps watch over my button collection in the studio.

Paper dolls may have lost some popularity over the years, but I've transformed a vintage graphic into a new version of the paper doll. This is Pearl, my 'Keeper of the Buttons' and she proudly keeps watch over my button collection in the studio.
I adhered the vintage paper doll graphic to wood and cut it out with a scroll saw.
I painted the sides of the doll and gave her a sweet garland of vintage buttons to hold.
'Pearl' is the perfect addition to my button collection.
