Have you seen a flat Stanley? Like a modern paper doll it is frequently used by teachers and the students send them to be photographed in far away locations. Well here is my version using fiddlesticks. Well, my version of fiddlesticks. The two dimensional cloth heads just seemed too flat. So I used a wooden bead instead and substituted pipe cleaners for the florist wire inside the fabric tubes to make them softer, rounder and well, less flat looking.
I debated adding doll hair and painting on faces but decided I preferred to personalize them in other ways. While they are actually all the same length segments I alternated the dark/solid portions to give a sense of varied heights and found cute hats. I can see a lot of fun accessorizing if a person wanted to.
These photos show 'me' with different 'friends'. HA. This is great for my camera shy side!

I love these. You have outdone yourself. They are so cute and fun looking. They are perfect. Yes, works for your camera shy side. Still does not excuse you from photos of you especially with all the things to make photos look the way we want them to. GREAT post. They almost look like they can get up and dance.
My daughter saw them last night and can't wait to take us on a vacation with her. So hope you liked the one of you.
Which one is me?? Love them all. She is taking us on vacation. I cannot wait to see where we go. Thank you, you made my day!!!
