Bonnie Holden's Paper Dolls

Christmas is a time when people are looking for Xmas gift ideas not only for others, but the fulfilment of ideas for themselves.  Whether child or adult when you know someone loves crafts, drawing, art related textiles, software or fashion design, it's nice to find a gift suited to their personality.

For many years Bonnie Holden was a fashion illustrator and later became a painter of Victorian themed paintings.  You may already be familiar with her nostalgic work which is sold by stores such as Nordstrom and Disney.  She has also created images of Victorian ladies for Avon Cosmetics.

Bonnie now also writes stories and creates the paper doll artwork for a young Victorian lady called Rebecca.  Rebecca is a very special young Victorian lady who grew up in Charleston, S.C. before, and during the post Civil War period.  Rebecca's early years were in a period when Charleston a wealthy city, but the Civil War changed all that.  Rebecca has many adventures in her youth, but the sixth and last book of the series is 'Rebecca's Christmas'.  The images are quite magical and if you love paper dolls this series is a must for you.

One particular feature I wanted to tell you about is the personalization of these paper doll creations that Bonnie can do for you if you want the products custom-made.

Bonnie Holden can change the paper doll's hair colour in any scenes and can also change the complexion so that people of any race can have a culturally friendly gift. 

Amazingly she does not charge extra for this service. There are other features that Bonnie can add or subtract to her work especially for you to make it a very personalized gift.  You can read much more about paper dolls at Bonnie's site called victoriancollection.com
