I'm in an art paper doll swap over at Flickr in the MAD MAMMA group. They are a crazy bunch of fun gals! I was inspired by vintage Pierrot photos and postcards over at Debra's website, Hop Hop Jingle Boo. Her name is Bebe Paisley Pierrot. She is a departure from the classic Pierrot as she doesn't have the big ruffled collar and a more stylish frock and hat!
This is the art tag that goes with the doll.........
To me clowns are creepy but Pierrots are kind of cute. Here is the story of the Pierrot:Pierrot is a character of mine and Commedia dell'Arte, a French variant of the Italian Pedrolino. His character is that of the sad clown, pining for love of Columbine, who inevitably breaks his heart and leaves him for Harlequin. He is usually depicted wearing a loose, white tunic. The noticeable feature of Pierrot's behaviour is his naïveté, he is seen as a fool, always the butt of pranks, yet nonetheless trusting. Pierrot is also portrayed as moonstruck, distant and oblivious to reality.
She's a tall drink of water, about 14 inches high.........
