Paper dolls are a combination of loving three things, fashion, art figures and nostalgia. I have loved paper dolls since I was six, twenty years later I still do. This blog is to motivate myself to create, to draw more and to do better at it overall. One day I'd like to be published, but that's for tomorrow. Today I just want to play.
