Welcome to
the 20th issue of Origamibears. Yes, here I am again, I have decided to
keep going for a while longer after all the letters I received from
around the world. Also, Origamibears has brought me many, many friends,
some of which I actually got to meet in April of this year. I traveled
all the way to the Danish paper doll convention in Esberg, Denmark. It
was a fantastic trip, I have posted picture in Paper dolls III to share
with all of you.
The theme
for this issue is fairies, elves, troll, and other mystical creatures. I
could not believe how many fairy paper dolls I came across. Thank you to
all my fellow collectors who helped me in many different ways.
The winner
of the mystery set for issue 19 was Cheryl who lives in San Jose,
California. Congratulations, a paper doll surprise is on its way. I had
almost 40 participants this time.
The mystery
set is called “Twinkle Twins" and was published by Whitman in 1944.
There were actually two separate sets, one with the younger children,
#521, and the other with the older children, #522. Thanks to everyone
who participated. Good luck on the next mystery set.
I have
posted two dress-a-dolls. I thought it would be fun to perhaps make a
collage with putting your picture on one of the paper dolls. I have
examples all done by Lene Villumsen to show you what I mean. Lene used
my pictures for her dolls and I will be using her picture for my
creations which will be shared on the next issue. Come on fellow
paper doll enthusiasts, get creative and share your results with us!
I usually
always do the Intro just before I post the new paper dolls. The last few
days some of the paper dolls I plan to post have cropped up on some of
the groups, which is perfectly OK with me. Some of the scans are
identical to mine so I assume we got the paper dolls from the same
source. Sometimes I do use sets which have been posted to the groups
because it saves me time, but most of the scans are my own including the
paper dolls. We are moving to a different apartment in August and
the one room I am dreading to pack up is, of course, the paper doll
room. I will be spending all of July trying to keep them organized as I
pack.
I haven’t
decided on the theme for the next issue, perhaps some of you have ideas
which I would welcome. Depending on how the move goes, I may post new
paper dolls in September.
Until then,
“let’s play paper dolls!”
