I tested my 9-page assembly line idea and here are the results. This was such fun and each star creation has it's own individual flair, yet you can tell they come from the same gene pool. This is a great way to make a number of these wonderful dolls all at once. You'll notice that they aren't decorated yet -- and -- they seem to have lost their heads! Watch for future posts to my blog to see how they look when they're all dressed up for a night on the town.
Method used: The complete pattern with mirror image limbs was copied onto 9 pieces of cardstock. Then the cardstock pattern was glued to the wrong side nine different decorative papers and cut out. Then the individual pieces were spread around to create 9 dolls - each with one of it's nine parts being from a different decorative page type. Glue the new 9-piece doll sets to the backing paper and cut out. Then assemble with brads. Voila! Nine sisters, somewhat the same, but each an individual.
I'm going to need to leave now and begin making their heads as they are running all around the room at the moment looking for them.
