About This Listing This listing is for either two hand-cut, fully-assembled articulated paper dolls OR a do-it-yourself kit featuring my shorebird characters Puffin and Piper. The dolls were designed using traditional analog techniques and illustrated entirely with watercolor. The original watercolor paintings were then scanned and printed on heavy cotton cardstock so you can cut it out and assemble it at home. The fully-assembled Puffin doll is about 4.5 inches tall, while Piper is about 5.5 inches tall.
If you select the "Fully Assembled Dolls" option from the dropdown menu, I will cut out the paper doll components myself, finish the edges with care using black paint, and assemble the dolls for you prior to shipping.
If you select the "Uncut Doll Sheet" option, here's the info you'll need:
Includes *one 8.5x11 paper doll sheet printed on heavy cotton cardstock (includes two dolls) *miniature brads/split pins for assembly *detailed assembly instructions
You Will Need *a cutting mat and a sharp utility knife with replacement blades *a fine awl, needle, or other sharp, pointed object for creating very small holes *a black fineliner marker for touching up the edges (optional) *patience and attention to detail
Difficulty This is one of my easier papercraft projects. Cutting and assembly of the pieces will require some time and patience, but most teens and adults should not find it especially challenging.
About the Characters Puffin and Piper were two seabirds who lived in a birdhouse by the sea. Puffin would always worry and worry about things that weren't real. And Piper would always give Puffin real things to worry about.
