Paper Doll

Boogapony Holly with five outfits, hat, and shawl.

Resa at Graffiti Lux Art & More celebrated her 1500th post on Sunday. The post is full of wonderful drawings of Boogapony Holly, Holly’s poetry, her sister Boogalu Lulu, and excellent music videos, all telling a bit of history along the way. Boogapony Holly is one of Resa’s characters based on Holly at House Of Heart. Holly is one of my favorite poets. Holly is a doll.

Speaking of dolls, one of the coolest features of the post is a paper doll of Boogapony Holly and five outfits, a hat, and a shawl that you can print, cut out the doll and clothing, and try the different outfits on Boogapony Holly.

I printed out the doll and clothes, mounted the doll on cardstock so she could stand, cut out the clothing, and tried the different outfits on Boogapony Holly. They fit perfectly. I was so impressed with Resa’s skill and genius that I photographed Boogapony Holly in each of her outfits. There is one close shot and one shot with a background added for each outfit. The balloon photos are from Sunday’s mass ascension.

    • The bell bottoms go so well with the VW Bus, and bring back memories from the 60s and 70s. Thanks, Lavinia.

  8. Timothy this is fabulous. I saw the post when I nipped home yesterday to catch up for half an hour and now I’ve caught this one. I LOVED paperdolls as a kid and when I saw the drawings it took me back and you have done your magic here.

  9. How clever and original. Maybe you could go into a side business and design all new outfits for the little doll with a song that accompanies each one you can enjoy while dressing her.
