Bookmarks and Package Art

Paper doll artist, Diana E. Vining, of prettypix4u.com held a drawing on Facebook for her newly designed Lovely Locks bookmarks.  I entered by placing a comment to the status update containing the contest information.  At the end of the contest period, the gracious Diana allowed all participants to win.  We had a choice of one of the four new designs.  I chose McKenna, "who" was waiting patiently for me at the post office this past weekend, along with three additional ones that I purchased to be used as gifts.

The four McKenna's were carefully tucked inside a padded envelop which contained Diana's signature package art on the outside, as illustrated above.  I like the personal touch she adds to her mailings so much that I have saved others from past packages, which are shown below, followed by the McKenna bookmark that I won.

McKenna measures approximately 6-1/2 inches (not including the top of her yarn ponytail).  The ponytail is black yarn with purple highlights that match the purple dress.  A multicolored bow accents the side ponytail.  McKenna holds her very own doll -- simply adorable!

The bookmarks are $4 and are cute gifts or gift extras for readers young and old.

I Am a Paper Doll -- You Can Be, Too!

During the end of December or beginning of January, I received a flyer in the mail from paper doll artist, Diana E. Vining, announcing her portrait paper dolls of children.  Using a suitable photograph of your child, grandchild, or other young girl, Diana fashions a portrait paper doll which includes the original artwork, the paper doll, a colored sheet of fashions, and two extra fashion sheets to be colored by the child.  There are three age groups from which to choose: 2-3, 4-7, and 8-12.

Using a photograph of me at age 10 (I might have been 11), Diana fashioned my portrait paper doll.    Of course I am not a child, but I do collect paper dolls and thought it would be neat to have yet another portrait paper doll of myself as a child (my husband and son made my first two sets). 

The photo used and actual paper doll created by Diana are shown below (click to enlarge).

You too (or a real child) can be a paper doll. Visit Diana's website for details.
