June 2009

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!”

Lone
