The rest of Jan and Karen, colored and cut

Man, that was fun!

Jan and Karen, the long formals

(note the sparkle)

Jan and Karen- the short formals

History is inspiration...

The rest was fun, but this is the REAL fun!

Long-time blog readers know how much I love everything about paper dolls. But what I love best is cutting them out. I cut prototypes of every piece while I was drawing and putting Jan and Karen together, but I waited until I'd colored every page before cutting the final versions out (and confession: I could not bear to cut my hand-colored book, so I scanned the colored pages and printed them out for cutting).

Herewith:

And yes, I am going to take a picture of every single outfit...

The last of the coloring

I have finished coloring Jan and Karen's clothes!
As always- these are photos, not scans, and will not print out to size.

Last page from the book.

 From the freebie pages here on the blog.

I am particularly proud of the handkerchief print!

And I have discovered Glitter Pens!!!!

The coloring is done- now for the cutting!

Almost done...

I don't believe I've ever colored an entire book before. Then again, I'd never drawn an entire coloring book before...

Anyway, only a one book page, and the freebie downloads for Jan and Karen left...

P.S. I want those saddle shoes
