I don’t know if the other paperdoll bloggers would agree, but to me, Halloween is the supreme paperdoll holiday, so much that the thought of a month of costumes can pull me out of the deepest slump. In my humdrum real life I don’t like to be scared, and I don’t usually even bother slapping together a costume, but for Sylvia, Grace and company I’ve done some of my best work: poison-green masquerade gowns, cute ladybugs, scarecrows with real, entirely fearless crows. So let us celebrate this month together: we’ll enjoy closets full of imaginary costumes and, I hope, a couple of good stories to go along with them. I shall be the High Priestess of Paperdoll Halloween, and sacrifice dozens of Prismacolors to the pencil sharpener! And here is what I might like to wear for such a job, had I but fabric enough and time.
I myself may be a capricious and unstable sort of high priestess, but the patience of the multitudes touches my heart, so I offer a psychedelic sort of red version of today’s outfit as well.
Colors used: black, warm grey 10%, 50%, 70% and 90%, dark umber, sunburst yellow, goldenrod and pumpkin orange.
Oooh, I love them soo much! I want one in my size!
i love them, but i love the red one more. it reminds me so much of flames.
I could do with something that warm now, I’m freezing!
Yay! and I agree, Halloween is the best paper doll holiday.
Squee!I’m not a fan of Halloween, but this is why I love October! <3
I love both of them, but particularly the red one. As I’ve been blessed with a birthday actually on Halloween, I see more than my share of black and orange, so the warmer colors that don’t scream, “Halloween” are nice.
Nice, very scary. :)
maybe you can do some princess costumes. like the ones at Cracker Barrel. =)
i love this dress!!!-all of your dresses, atually. have you ever read Cap’O’Rushes? in the fairytale, the princess wears three gowns- a shimmmering silver “moonlight” one, a gleaming golden “sun” one, and a twinkling one covered in gems “like stars”. maybe you could draw them?
i love the black one best
oohhhh i love it! Maybe you could do a Indian Girl costume? I’m part Cherokee, so I would really love that!
Love the Halloween Dresses! Elegant and a hint of wickedness!
Total Awesomeness. Welcome back from your vacation away from paperdoll land. I would so love to wear both of those robes. You always do the best outfits.
They’re so pretty! I would wear that in a heartbeat. And so powerful. I don’t go in for all that pink-sugary-gushing frilliness myself.
Daaaang! I rarely comment, and there is no power on earth that would induce me to wear those out and about in real life, but these are absolutely gorgeous.
I wish my printer wasn’t broken, I want to print these right now! D:
Wow, I love the red. God, I love colors. The black makes me think of Harry Potter…like something Hermione would wear. I loved that series when I was younger. Lovely work!
And, I agree with the statement that Halloween is the best for paperdoll-making. I would love to see costumes, like Alice in Wonderland and Drusilla! (Do any of you know who Drusilla is? Hint: A vampire from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, hee hee.)
Beautiful! My birthday is also on Halloween, and so I’ve always love, love loved the holiday. I absolutely cannot wait to see the rest of this month’s dresses!
Yes, Artemis! I love Drusilla, my favorite vampire. I was really hoping that Liana would make a Buffy paperdoll, or atleast start watching the show now that she’s got Firefly and Dollhouse down. ;)
i think you should do merlin themed outfits (from bbc merlin)
OH!!!!! I LOVE the bbc merlin show!!!! it’s my my favorite TV show! i totally agree with you sarah.
Love it! It kind of reminds me of some old Samantha gowns from Bewitched.
It’s hard to decide – I really like the look of both designs.
I’ve enjoyed your designs. Here’s what I made with the black Halloween design.
