Paper People

Under my bed I have a cardboard box full of a collection of cut out drawings of people that I did from the time I was 8 or 9 until I was 12 or 13. Up until recently I had no idea what to do with them. After some thought I've had some ideas of possibly turning them into magnets and maybe even pins. See the pic of Betty, who I plan to turn into a magnet, below to the left.

Here are some pics showing how the paper people changed over time (from left to right).

So stay tuned to see what will become of this bunch and if they end up in my Etsy shop.

Also please share your story of childhood projects you did and possibly kept to giggle at later :-)

More Faces to Come :-)

To the left you see the 3 face pendants that are currently in my Etsy shop, Pieces of Elise's. Lila is the one in the upper left with the eye shadow. In the center is Merona, with the flower in her hair. And off to the right is Wilma, looking off into space.

I have always loved drawing people's faces. Between the ages of 9 and 13 I created over 300 paper people. I still have them and plan to take pictures of them and make a post about them here.

I plan to make more face pendants as well as brooches, hair pins, and possibly rings. I also hope to be including drawings and maybe even some new and improved paper people in my shop! So stay tuned, you should start seeing the new items within the month of May :-)
