You have the most awesome imagination. I wish I could be you when I grow up. I'm only 70 yrs old.. LOL

[@TaraJacobsen]

Heheheh maybe when you get a wee bit older...:)

[@darcygoodboe3457]

I’m a fan of the black outlines. It really does add to the defined look. I like how you’ve used the black & white stripes to tie the pieces together. TY!

[@TaraJacobsen]

I was posting all my pictures on my website and noticed I did one with white outline and that was cute too! I think I will do a white outline soon!

[@lisalindstrom9564]

That was great I enjoyed it very much thank you

[@sandyfranklin1123]

I have not tackled a one magazine challenge for myself yet… I’ve spent hours harvesting faces, eyes, and body parts and assembling paper dolls from many magazines, which I then store in a plastic box until I have backgrounds ready. I also harvest background/border pieces and ephemera as well as words/phrases that I try to sort and organize into categories in plastic bags or boxes. So far I’ve mostly used “real human” bodies but may try some weird tummies in the future! I need to start doing more doodling in the future too!

[@TaraJacobsen]

Ohhh you are going to love some upcoming videos Sandy!!! I have SO MANY CUTOUTS... I will be making lots of paper dolls and backgrounds coming soon!

[@csk5654]

OMG girl, I LOVE this! You are amazingly talented Tara! TYFS Cindy

[@TaraJacobsen]

She is one of my favorites for sure!

[@merylaskew9387]

[@TaraJacobsen]

Thanks so much Meryl! LOTS more collages!

[@BarbaraMerryGeng]

[@deb.e.mixedmedia]

Awesome page!

[@TaraJacobsen]

Thanks so much Deb! She is a favorite of mine too!

[@lisastevens2607]

Adding the small images at the end really did add so much! I LOVE the business. Sometimes they just come out that way. Susan Lucci never looked so good! Annnd... using magazines from the 80"s *chefs kiss* ! I remember all of the ads. LOL I smoked Benson and Hedges deluxe ultra light menthols. Can you images asking for those? It was a mouthful. One Question.. Did you see Cindy Crawford? and my Nuvo glues arrives today. I finally broke down and ordered it from A.

[@TaraJacobsen]

YAY!!! Enabled your Nuvo addiction!!! I LOVE using the 80s mags....:) Mine was Marlboro Menthol 100s Hard Pack... so a bit easier!

[@lisastevens2607]

@@TaraJacobsen hard pack an absolute must!!!! 😊😂

[@barbararuz7550]

Hermozooooooooooooooooooo

[@aprilphillips318]

Lol that was me who smoked satin cigarettes.

[@TaraJacobsen]

HAHAHAHA... do you ever wonder if the young gals think we all smoked all the time (we did of course!)

[@aprilphillips318]

Right and we thought we were so cool lol.
