Paper Dolls: Artist Trading Cards

Before there were Barbies, there were paper dolls. 
They paved the way for Barbie, that fashion icon.

Our Artist Trading Card theme this month is "Apparel".

Many years ago, this pre-teen Sketchbook Wanderer
thought she might want to become a fashion designer.

That wasn't meant to be, but how I loved
outfits& accessories 
I spent one whole summer designing & sewing clothes
by hand for my Barbie.
I continue to love dolls & miniatures.

20 cards, 2.5 X 3.5", to trade, with outfits
that I myself wouldn't mind wearing.

On Beauty & Fashion

More in the series on Mindfulness...
The prompt was asking us to think about Beauty...
Which got me to thinking about fashion 
& the role it's played in my life. 
The subject of beauty in human beings is complicated.
It's much easier to contemplate beauty in nature & art.
But it's a definite preoccupation. We have our own versions of 
the Greek gods & goddesses...& beauty industries. Wow!

What do you think on this subject?
