i wanted to share some things i've colored recently that i found at Paper Thin Personas - the dolls (current and retired) are all very cute and varied. I enjoy paperdolls already colored in by the artist, but also enjoy when they give us a black and white version to color ourselves - it gives us a chance to create beautiful images based on their designs but with our own flair added in, take for instance the Regency Teddy Bear page - i love all of the outfits i colored but am especially happy with the green outfit with the white swirls and the raspberry tiered dress. Flora is another great example of good and bad work - i really impressed myself with the work i did on the doll (4 colors were used to achieve the doll's skin - doesn't include the greens on the stand) and i really like what i did with the orange/brown dress - but would rather shoot myself when i look at the blue outfit and thos orange stockings (i was going to try and match the look of the orange dress, but lost it somewhere - not sure what happened there). But all and all - i hope you enjoy them just the same. Oh and don't mind that line running down the Flora page - i was only initially going to share the doll (because i didn't like the blue dress and stockings) but then i thought it wouldn't be fair to only show my good work.
if you go to Paper Thin Personas and click on the Retired Paper Dolls tab and then click the 'older posts' button at the bottom of the page til you get to the first page - you can find the page 1 of the Regency Teddy Bear there which was colored in by the artist and includes the bear doll to go with the outfits.
okay - so sue me - i don't write in everyday, i'm hoping i can work on that (no promises, but will see) - but as i mentioned - mostly this is a spot for me to be me - good and bad, regular or not - this is me, we will work on it. This is a self project (in a way i guess) but aren't all blogs that for people in general? I'm sure almost all blogs are started with the intention of sharing things with the world - but i'm just as sure that when people look back over their blogs the find out bits and pieces of themselves and how they evolve over time while working on the blogs. That i'm sure is what we'll find here - i'm sure my later posts will be similair but very different from these ones (but maybe they won't be, maybe i'll just share more often? LOLOLgigglegiggleLOLOL).

How wonderful to see what my black and white work looks like when it's colored. I love the vibrancy of your color choices. And thanks for the shout out.
