Chinese New Year card personalized




These two Chinese New Year cards were given to two very special friends. I have bought the cards and then personalized them. When one personalizes a  card, it changes the whole set up of a card and the message conveyed. I had a wonderful time making the dolls and decorating them. 

You know what, I found out that although I may know how to make the dolls as I have done so many of them but if that day my mood is poor or I am feeling awfully tired, the dolls won't look beautiful. The 'cloth' might be wrongly chosen to go with the hairdo or the posture of the doll not graceful. Even the beads might not be picked rightly and the doll will come out reflecting your awful mood. 

Dolls appeal to me a lot. These are paper dolls. In my other blog: www. elainesideashop.com, you will see dolls made from flour. They are small : Chibi dolls. 




The paper dolls are kirigami dolls, part folding, part cutting and paste.
