19th Century Paper Dolls

Michigan Morse: Christmas 1859

12/4/2011

 
Picture
These two pieces may seem rather disparate  (ill-matched is a more obvious expression perhaps). But they will make sense once I finish with Mish's coat, which I am currently working on. The gist is that Mish leaves abruptly during Christmas dinner, throwing on this hat and coat and never mind that he's still in his formal wear, he just wants to get out of the house.

And anyway, the South has a somewhat different idea of formal wear; particularly when it's just a family dinner.

And once again, the scan loses a lot of the detail, but take my word for it, this shirt is the most fabulous thing ever.

Meanwhile, I have posted (reposted) the first four plates to the Gallery. Again, with apologies for continually changing things up, but I really wasn't happy with the reduction. The current plates reproduce the characters and clothing by only 10%, so they are just shy of actual size (and therefore probably a lot easier to handle/cut, etc.

I have two additional plates in the wings (Olivia and Sandy), but I am equivocating about what their numbers should be. Once I finish with Mish, I will have a better idea of who should come first and then hopefully I will post all three plates later on this week.

I might not get to Tennessee's clothes this weekend (unless I get very ambitious ~ but I have a lot to do today). So he will have to bear being bare for a wee bit longer.
