Who were they, where were they going and what story lies behind each expression? Tim Holtz Idea-Ology Paper Dolls Solos includes 107 individual paper figures created from vintage black-and-white photographs of people from another era.
Inside the pack, you will find men, women and children wearing different styles of clothing and appearing in a variety of poses. Some stand formally in front of the camera, while others sit or pose more casually, giving you plenty of characters for miniature scenes and imagined narratives. The Solos collection focuses on individual figures, allowing you to arrange and combine them freely within your composition.
The assortment of sizes makes it easy to create depth and perspective. Place a larger figure in the foreground and smaller characters further back, then surround them with furniture, doors, flowers, gears or vintage ephemera to build a complete scene. A single figure can also become a strong focal point on a card, tag or journal page.
The figures are printed on cardstock and die-cut around their outlines, ready to use straight from the pack. Keep them black and white for a classic vintage appearance, or introduce subtle colour with inks, pencils and other creative media. Add shading behind them or lift selected figures with foam tape to make them appear as though they have stepped out of an old photograph and into your own story.
