I’ve gone back to school full time in order to learn new computer programs and get better acquainted with the publishing possibilities in today’s world of cyber-creativity. One of the first things I learned was that my old computer that has [...] Here’s a flirty flapper in pink lace and pearls. She started out as a premade-white cotton doll body purchased in a store. I have a pattern that I’ve drafted that gives the same body, but I got very tired of making and turning and stuffing the dolls because the fun part is dressing [...] It took more than one day, but I got to finish up the project that I started using my Wacom pen mouse and my paper doll Belle along with clip art from Dover Publications.

Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland knew how much went into each [...] I’ve been having fun playing with face masks, dolls, and beads.
