but he's really quite fabulous

Graphite and watercolor on lined paper

Antique Handmade Paper Doll with Yellow Pants collector's copy but he's really quite fabulousAnother type of thing I can never leave behind handmade paper dolls! I do really love ones with hand drawn faces, but the minimalism of this one is lovely, placing the focus on that perfectly folded collar and the great yellow of her pants, both of which were belted with paper and tied (folded) in the back, the belt of the pants concealed under the dress. Feels like a valentine to me, and most definitely frame worthy. 4 5 8" t x 3 1 8" w and in
