Hi! Paper Tailor Designs is all about imagination, encouragement, and friendship. I am exploring how to combine paper dolls, greeting cards, and art in general to bring more beauty and encouragement to this world.
I'm so excited to share my paper doll greeting cards with you, along with my other artwork. There are so many things that inspire and encourage me and I hope that through my art you also will be encouraged!
My love of paper dolls began as a seven year old child finding treasure in a used book store: a Tom Tierney paper doll book. I saved my pennies for a month to come back and buy it. The passion has never left. Coming from an artistic family it was only a matter of time before I began tracing dresses and then drawing my own dolls. I went to school to become a Veterinary Technician and practiced for 9 years before our children were born, but paper dolls were always in the background. I drew them as stress relief after a hard day, as appreciation for a good book, as a way to stretch my creativity. I have stacks and stacks of papers covered in dolls, dresses, and ideas for dolls.
