I recently made a birthday card for my niece Chloe's tenth birthday with a paper doll attached to it. You can see it here.
When I saw her last weekend she produced the sheet of paper above showing the specifications of the next doll she'd like - and I don't think she wanted to wait until her next birthday - LOL!
Here's what I made following her specific requests!
Brown eyes and pink lips weren't a problem - I had watercolour pencils in those colours.
Red hair - that was ok, I used some wool I had.
Tights and sparkly shoes - I think they're ok too, but onto the purple dress ....
I sorted through all my fabrics but couldn't find any purple, then onto my ribbon stash - and yes, I had a little bag of assorted shades of purple? Well, I thought it was purple, but now realise it's probably lilac - doh!
Will she notice, will she mind? Will she give me another piece of paper next time? Most probably - will I mind? Of course not!
Thanks for looking and any comments will of course be passed on directly to the designer!

I think she will be so thrilled, that she won't notice a little shade difference! This is so fabulous and what a brillian design! Love it!
Excellent!
You did a wonderful job and she's gonna love it!

Wow, its gorgeous , can't to see what she asks you to make next as I am sure she will when she sees this one.
I think you successfully met the client's brief, Sherry :-)
BTW clear tar gel is a glossy transparent acrylic gel medium by Golden - you can use it for glazes, to give body, add sheen, collage.
What a fantastic auntie you are and what a lucky little girl to have her own personal doll designer!
I think you will get away with it. This is fab. Wish I was ten again!!
That's so sweet! Kids are sure good designers :)
awe, FABULOUS doll. Sure to be loved. Can't wait to see mark2. :) Have a great day.xx
Sherry I'm sure your niece will want you to make many paper dolls after this very beautiful doll you made after her fine drawing.

Wow! That's amazing! I better not let my little designers get wind of this idea or I'll never get any rest.
wow what a wonderful creation - I bet your daughter was pleased. :)
Would you consider a commission from a (slightly) older client?????? LOL Another fab creation!
please tell Chloe she is a star and must keep on with designs, she's a clever young lady!
plus she is very good to keep her Aunt busy in her favourite pursuit :-)
