Southern Belle.......ATC paper art doll

These are altered paper art dolls ATCs taken from an old Children's Playmate Magazine. I think the magazine is from the 1940's Her name is Mehitable. I like that name. One of my own ancestors has the name of Mehitable. They look like a Southern Belles. When there was a challenge for this theme, I was happy to make a copy of three versions of her. I hand touched them and added some embellishment too. Sometimes making a ATC art doll from a paper doll pattern can be challenging. It takes some thought to make it look like the paper doll and still have moving parts to her so she can be folded to a smaller size.

Three OOAK Paper Art Doll ATCs

I could not sleep a couple of nights ago so I got up and made PiPi, Joy and Steampunk Sue

So I call them my "Up-in-the-night dolls.

Joy is small-about 5 inches tall

with button hands and feet. 

Pipi reminds me of the the movie called

 "The Artist" which one of my favorites!

She dances.

Steampunk Sue Folded

Steampunk Sue is the tallest-about 11 inches tall

Tell a Story ATCs.....................

The Challenge here was to make ATCs that tell a story. 

Fairies and Folk ATCs

Hand Drawn Ladies in hats ATCs

Steampunk ATC art doll..............

Hands

Head and torso

Legs and Shoes

The Challenge was a Steampunk ATC art doll. She folds up almost to the 3.5 x 2.5. Her head is not movable. Just her arms and legs. I like the feathers. I used some of my small hardware. I like stamps. You never know when they will come in handy.

Two more Tooty Fruiry ATC Art Dolls..........

The challenge is "Tooty Fruity". I guess this could be interpreted in so many ways. Here is Mine.
