JANE ARDEN PAPER DOLL: JANE IN SICILY FROM NOV 19TH 1933

Here is a paper doll of Jane Arden from 1933. They did a whole series featuring her in different native costumes. I don't think I have the entire series though. I do, however, have Jane in France. That one appeared on the following Sunday which was the 26th. I will be posting it in 7 days, just as they did back then. So be patient, I promise I WILL post it then. 

11 19 1933

In The Hunter our trio has taken on the English that were following them but have become separated. When last we saw Kenneth he had to finish off three of the soldier while Ewen went after Lady Janet. Janet herself had to confront one of the soldiers and had wounded the bloke with her knife when Ewen came upon them and killed the bugger. The are now near the village of

Cuingealach where Ewen is hoping to get a horse so they can continue their trek to the coast, in order to catch a waiting ship to Dunstaffnage where the King is holding court.  When I first tired to look up the village I wasn't sure I had the write spelling since how things are spelled does change over the centuries. However, upon seeing a map of Scotland I do have the spelling right and the place still exists.  Looks to be pretty small and probably the same size it would have been back in the 13th Century. It also looks to be a very beautiful place to live, not to mention remote. 

In continuing with the Sleeping Beauty set, here are the covers and inside pocket for the dolls. I love the artwork on the inside of the cover. given modern technology, conceivably you could make the dolls into KISS ones using the inside cover for a backdrop. I don't know how to do it but I'm sure someone out there does. :)

As you have probably gathered the inside front and back covers are to store the clothes while the extra "balcony" pocket is to store the dolls. I absolutely love this set for the extra detail that went into it. Out of all the Disney films, I think, artistic wise, they broke the mold when they created the beautiful scenes and characters for it. I have yet to see a Disney animated film that compares to this one. All Disney films are wonderfully done, but Sleeping Beauty surpasses them all in my humble opinion.  I will be finishing up the final pages of the costumes for this set in my next posting. I still have to resize the other pages but I wanted to have something to post from the set this time around so, since the covers were already at the right size, I posted them instead. 

Til next time.......                                          ALOHA!!
