I recently did a custom paper doll set for the lovely Jillian and Noah. I an new to doing custom paper dolls of real people (and not merry jazz-age murderesses and conjoined twins and all that) so I was nervous. I reeeeally wanted it to be perfect and for them to love it. So the concept was that Noah plays baseball and to give him an olde-timey baseball uniform and Jillian is in the stands cheering for him in appropriate 1920's era garb. They also both have "normal" clothes that they would actually wear (like Noah's hoodie and Jillian's sweater) Anywho, I have heard good news from them that they are quite happy with it and are enjoying them which warms my cold, black heart. (haha)
and here is a photo of the adorable couple themselves!
with this in mind I am thinking of offering more custom paper doll options in my shop, I'm afraid of how much work it is, but I did enjoy the reaction so much. Its a very special thing to have I think. What do you think?

Oh I absolutely LOVE it! I would almost HAVE to have one, if you offered more!
When Jillian showed me these, I was amazed. They are SO perfect! I hope you decide to do more, I think it would be the most wonderful birthday present for my daughter.
aw, thank you both! and look for a custom paper doll option in my shop next month :) Its a lot of work, but I think its worth it :)
I love the idea of custom paper dolls and they came out wonderfully. Many people love to imagine themselves in different times and miss playing pretend...i know that i do!
I love it!!!! I also love the one you just did with all the different hair. Perfect for the girl who wants all styles at once.
