Paper Artsy is having an Art Doll challenge-how fun is that!
Forever I have loved to play with dolls. As a child,I made my own Barbie's clothing and then as an adult I joined a paperdoll group and we swapped handmade art/paper dolls monthly-we had such fun and I have such treasured dolls from that time!
When I saw this challenge,well naturally,I had to play along")
For my doll,"Truly North",I have no step outs,because my muse and I were having too much fun!
Two of the Paper Artsy Artists posts,in particular,inspired me in the creation of of my doll.
Both,the fairy art doll post by Alison Hall
and also the post,"Carmen" by Gabrielle Price.

The stamps I used in the creation of Truly are by Lynne Perrella,available at Paper Artsy.
These are the two stamps sets I used:
Sorry I haven't been around as much as usual. My son Len is here visiting with us and,as you can imagine,I am getting in as much Mom time as possible 
Thanks so much for your visit~
Happy first day of Spring!

Brilliant - love her! What fun!
Excellent! I am a huge Lynne Perrella fan! And you did a brilliant job...as ALWAYS!
Jackie, I'm totally in awe of this fabulous doll! I'm grinning from ear to ear! I love your colour choices; I love her poses and the wonderful little charms on her nautical hat. Like Shelby above I'm a HUGE Lynne P fan and you've done her proud on this! Thanks for sharing this gorgeous, witty little creation! xx
Hehehehehhed - well, I was in love with Truly North from the moment I laid eyes on her Jackie but when I scrolled down reading - she totally made me giggle out loud showing off the way she did... changing poses - crossing her legs - GRACIOUS - does she think she is human???!!! OK - well - maybe she is.... she can definitely come unhinged like a human!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She is TOTALLY FABULOUS!! I love the fabric at her neck and hemline and all the dangling metal. Her outfit is perfect. Makes me think she could hop on an old ship and sail 'truly north'!!!!!!!!!!! What SPECTACULAR Art Doll - LOVE LOVE LOVE. XXj.
I love your vividly coloured LP art doll - and those poseable arms are such fun - love her jaunty pose in the final photo - fantastic work! Hope you're enjoying your family time - so right to make the most of it.

Hello Len..so happy he is at your house. Do you have him coloring? Love this doll. Lucky recipient in that exchange. She's quite divine. I still cherish my first dolls I received from you. As a child I drew and colored (with colored pencils) shoeboxes full of paper dolls. Hugs-
Well, you know how much i adore paper dolls, and these are lovely. What fun stamps! Now i am inspired to go to dolly-land!
I can tell you had fun with this, Jackie! I know the feeling when you're so caught up in the moment, you forget to take photos. Awesome art doll, I love her little arms and her headgear, especially the dingly danglies!

How fabulous Jackie! Love that you went with a brighter colour palette, works so well with the style of these stamps. The added charms are such a wonderful touch. hugs :)
She is fabulous!!! Every detail of her, her accessories, her clothing...LOVE it!
I like your paperdoll. It´s a lady.
What fabulous fun, Jackie - I LOVE how you play!
Jackie...your art doll is way way cool! I love Lynne's stamps and the ones you are featuring on your blog are really fun! I love the bright colors that you use and this whimsical art doll is perfect for that color palette. Love the charms, the teal neck ruffle...well, all of her ensemble actually, the great hat and "True North" signage. You are so creative!
An amazing articulated doll and I am in love with the attention to detail on your doll such as the starfish and seahorse charms and the ruffle at her neckline.
You perfectly captured the whimsy of the Lynne Perrella designed stamps and also your use of colour also speaks very much of Lynne Perrella's own art style.
Amazing!!!
Wishes
Lynne
