Earlier this fall, Rachel of Paperthin Personas asked me if I'd like to jump into another Halloween paper doll series. We've done a few over the years, so of course I was on board! She came up with a great set of themes and we both got to work. Hers went up yesterday (you can see it here) and here's mine, a little late with time zones, etc, etc!

The dress on the base doll is based on a 1950s dress I saw on Pinterest. It's dramatic and chic and vintage - what's not to love?!
The first theme is "poison bottles". I love the green color of antique bottles and the stylized skulls on the labels. I decided to make the whole dress a poison bottle! The dress has sort of an 18th century vibe but a little bit of 19-teens too.
My plan for this series is to use as little black as possible! It's easy to default to a black-orange-red-lime green-and maybe purple kind of palette for Halloween. There WILL be black, of course. Some of the themes (bats, for example) would really need to be black, but where it's possible, I'm going to push other colors.
Follow along with us as we tackle the same theme list with different styles and dolls!
