Hi, Barbie! LOVE these adorable paper dolls! The mushroom skirts are so cute and the watch torsos are so unexpected. You have a unique brain to think up these things, for sure. TFS xoxo

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you, Joy and I am so happy you enjoyed the video, as well as taking the time. I got a bit carried away, once I start something and really enjoy it, I get lost in it. I'm sure you understand. My husband will tell you I have a very unique brain, whether that's good is yet to be seen! 🤣🤣 Hugs and love! xo

Hey, gf 🥰 I hope you are rocking summer and having a ball. TFW and yes, part 2 should be this weekend. Still playing with my dolls and will figure out what to do with them soon. Hugs xo

[@sherrybarfield8446]

Absolutely adorable surreal paper people! I appreciate that you try to please all of us...but ultimately you need to please yourself and enjoy your projects! We are very lucky that you share your talent with us. I look forward to your next project. Take care of yourself.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you, Sherry. The feeling is mutual, where your sharing with me is just as, if not more, important than me sharing with you. You are so sweet and I am blessed to have you as a constant viewer and subbie. Have a wonderful week and upcoming weekend. Blessings to you and your family, my friend. xo

[@J0yb3ells]

These are a fun idea,cute surreal mushroom muse gals,these remind me of the surrealist game 'exquisite corpse' where someone draws a head,folds the paper and someone draws the upper body and them the lower body,them the legs,and then the paper is opened to see the resulting figure (Matt) P.s I think there is a collage soup book of paper dolls now

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Okay, Matt ...... I have never heard of that game but how fun would that be after having a few cocktails 🍹🍹🍹A great party game for sure. Thanks for joining in on the fun and have the best day ever. I'll have to check out CSB to see what's new out there.

[@shayriddle1498]

Barbie, how creative. These are stinking cute!

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks, Shay. A fun video to make for you and another think out of the box moment!

[@christinekallaras5131]

Love this idea, you have so much patience x

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

TFW, Jeana. Super fun, huh? Let's see what you can do now. I'm sure you'll do a bang up job and I can't wait to see. xo

[@myshlmestan9951]

Wonderful idea!! Turned out so lovely!!

[@dorothyradley9391]

Barbie, I adore these little girls. Your tutorial is perfect and I have thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. I am going to try this and I am going to start a gratitude journal too. I think it will be a big help to my mental health. I am struggling to cut out items as I have Carpel tunnel syndrome in both hands and I am waiting for surgery to fix them but I will persevere non-the-less . Thank you for sharing your talent and for taking the time to teach us surreal collaging. It’s wonderful and different. Lots of love from England. xx

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Dorothy, I will keep you in my prayers and I am so sorry you are having trouble with carpel tunnel syndrome. WOULD YOU PLEASE send me your mailing address through my email : [e-mail] I would love to send you some ephemera, already cut for you to use in your journals. 🥰 Please consider honoring my request so I can help you out. I am so happy you enjoyed this video and like the little paper dolls. 🥰 Sending love to you from across the pond. xo

[@ChelleBeeby]

💙❄💙TFS💙❄💙 I had a blast "watching" this one.. hahaha, omg, I crack me up... sorry - I've had a monster head all day so the little things bring me joy! Amazing as always Barbie

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

I feel your pain with the head and I'm sorry to hear that. Just 'watch' yourself and take it easy. I'm surprised you were able to sit and view the video. When I have a monster headache I'm down for the count. Take care and you're a real trooper, gf. hugs 💜💜

[@tatteredpaperandlace2905]

A great idea Barbie. They turned out adorable. On the 2nd one you did, before you cut off part of the mushroom it looked like a whole dress. Sparked my interest to just use mushrooms for a different look. Now I will have to be on the search! TFSGF.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Hey, Pam ..... TFW and yes, I thought the same thing about that mushroom. I still have to work with the other 2 I showed and I'll be extending her dress to make her taller. These crack me up b/c they are all so short! 🤣🤣 Go pick some mushrooms and have a ball at your craft desk. Hugs, gf xoxo

[@tatteredpaperandlace2905]

[@itearpaper]

Love love love these little watch girls! Your ideas are going in a great new direction….not boring at all! I’m not a fan of AI either. I’m actually kinda afraid of it 😬 I like my ideas to come from my own brain 🧠 ❤

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Christine, AI scares the heck out of me. TFW and thank you so much for your words, it's good to know if I am heading in the right direction, that way I'm not wandering or getting lost. 🤣🤣 At my age, I have to use the brain, it's healthier for me. Have a great day, gf and big hugs. xo ❤

[@shayriddle1498]

Barbie, you made me laugh out loud when you said "Oh my she can scratch her legs down there " they look like monkey arms! Hugs.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Shay, you were thinking the same thing but I didn't want to say it in my video .......... I could hardly contain myself but was a big girl and behaved. I'm just glad I didn't get giggling, it would have been all over for me. Sending love and hugs. xo

[@lanakristoff5188]

These are clever and very useful. I enjoyed this video. I hope you have gotten good health news. I am not sure when this posted from when you will have had a return trip from Ohio. Best wishes ❤️

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Hey, Lana !! Hello and Happy Friday. All good news and home from Cleveland, back in the swing of things. I'm so happy you enjoyed Part 1 and Part 2 will be soon. TFW and sending big hugs your way and many blessings for a wonderful weekend. xo 💖

[@nafeesaebrahim1936]
