MOD POP Paper Dolls


Book Description

Kwei-Lin Lum, arguably the most imaginative of all paper doll artists working today, has created a brand new work of art that would be at home in a Museum of Modern Art. MOD POP is a colorful, eye-popping ode to a fashion era that broke all rules, shocked, surprised and delighted the young dolly birds who kicked up their heels in mini-dresses, shrunken sweaters, jumpsuits, flare pants and paper dresses (how appropriate is that?). This spectacular celebration of 1960s fashions offers more than 80 mod items including tights, wigs, boots and other trendy accessories, plus a colorful boutique backdrop and stands for mounting four fashion figures. Every page is a wild and wonderful work of Pop Art artistry that would make Andy Warhol flip his white wig.

Heidi


Book Description

This paper doll book was inspired by Johanna Spyri's "Heidi," one of the most, if not THE most, popular pieces of Swiss literature ever written. The illustrations in this book are paintings (watercolor and digital coloring), which lovingly detail Heidi's story, from her delight with the beauties of her mountain home to her adventures in the big city of Frankfurt. The set includes 7 dolls (6.5"-8.5"), 12 animals, 22 costumes, and over 70 accessories, as well as two 3-page background settings ("Grandfather's House" and "Mountain Pastures"). The illustrations were inspired by clothing and culinary details of the 1800s and of Switzerland. This book was published through Amazon KDP. The paper weight is slightly thicker than ordinary printer paper. The paper weight is the same for both doll/s and costume/s. The artist recommends backing the doll/s with cardstock if a thicker doll is desired (the doll and costumes function perfectly without the added thickness, however).
