I’m having so much fun with my new job as paper doll editor with Ruby magazine! The July/August and September/October issues have been published with new adventures for Gina Ross, her friend Emma, her young brother Brett, and more people to come! Kwik-Sew patterns have given me permission to draw clothes for Gina from their website so you can make clothes for the young girls in your life like Gina’s.
If you don’t know about Ruby, it’s a new online women’s magazine that I and other editors love to create for. You can catch the blog on the link on the lower right hand column of this page.
Anyway-a new social group has been created for the women who subscribe to Ruby. Groups have been started within Ruby Women that you can take part in. I have started a Paper Dolls group with an activity for this fall. Here is a cropped segment of Cherié, a fairy that wants you to make her a ball gown for the Autumn Ball on October 24th. You print her on your computer, use your scraps, laces and or beads to create her ball gown and glue it to the paper. Then take a picture of it and share it with us in the Ruby Women network.
So come join us! If you’ve been considering subscribing to this delightful magazine, we’d love to have you! Once you subscribe you’ll get an invitation to join Ruby Women. You could then print off Cherié for the girls in your life to dress with your fabric scraps or you create that fabulous fairy ball gown! She would also make a great gift idea to print off copies, make a kit of scraps and laces and give them to a young girl with a birthday coming or a session at your house. We already have gals working on a dress for Cherié-let’s see yours!
