Paper dolls from the biblical stories at Easter time


I remember at Easter time, films with biblical themes were always shown on television. 

The Bible stories have always captivated me. 

I still keep my favourite book of biblical stories from my childhood illustrated in detail by Giovanni Caselli (He is a well known illustrator noted for his work regarding the classical world and its literature, art, symbol and myths... He lives in Italy).

The biblical story that perhaps most enchanted me was that of Samson and Delilah (1949) since I saw, as a child, the film by Cecil B. DeMille, starring the beautiful Hedy Lamarr and Victor Mature.
A film with a beautiful photograph and a magnificent wardrobe by Edith Head, which Mr. Tom Tierney paid tribute to in Edith Head Paper Dolls' award winning fashions, perhaps one of his latest books and one of my favourites because of the style change. verified in his last works. In this book, we find a Delilah / Hedy Lamarr paper doll that I share here. Maybe one day I will draw my version of the paper dolls from the Bible stories.

From biblical times there are other paper dolls that I would like to share here... Do you know these books?


































































 







Have a nice Easter, stay at home, stay well!

Na época da Páscoa, os filmes com temas bíblicos eram sempre exibidos na televisão. As histórias da Bíblia sempre me cativaram. Eu ainda guardo um livro de histórias biblicas da minha infância ilustrado detalhadamente por Giovanni Caselli.A história bíblica que talvez mais me encantou foi a de "Sansão e Dalila" (1949) desde que vi, quando criança, o filme de Cecil B. DeMille, protagonizado pela belissima Hedy Lamarr e por Victor Mature. Um filme com uma fotografia lindissima e um magnífico guarda-roupa de Edith Head, que o Sr. Tom Tierney prestou homenagem em Award-Winning Fashions of Edith Head Paper Dolls, talvez um de seus últimos livros que eu mais gosto devido à mudança de estilo verificado em seus últimos trabalhos. Neste livro, encontramos uma boneca de papel Delilah / Hedy Lamarr que eu compartilho aqui. Talvez um dia eu desenhe minha versão de paper dolls das histórias bíblicas.

Miss Little Cockroach


 From childhood, I remember the story of a small beetle or cockroach that was sweeping the house and then found a gold coin. Full of joy, she ran to Mrs. Spider, who was a very skilled dressmaker, and bought a beautiful wedding dress full of lace very well made by Mrs. Spider. Then the little cockroach ran to her house and dressed very well. She went to the window and started singing: who wants to marry the cockroach that is very rich and very cute?She continued to sing, waiting for a candidate to appear. Guess what happened? I will tell you later ... 

Of all these books, there is a recipe book with illustrations that I remember very well and that inspired my version of the little cockroach.This book came with a Silampos pressure cooker that my mother bought. The Silampos pressure cooker was a very useful object in the kitchen and well known at the time! These are some illustrations from the book ...


I tried different versions ... I'm still not sure about the final result but for now I share this version with you. Ladies and gentlemen I would like to present my version of Miss Little Cockroach!
Stay save, stay healthy, we will meet again next week! _________________________________________________________________________________


Lembro-me de uma história da minha infância sobre uma carochinha que estava varrendo a casa e depois encontrou uma moeda de ouro. Cheia de alegria, ela correu para a sra. Aranha, que era uma costureira muito habilidosa, e comprou um lindo vestido de noiva cheio de rendas, muito bem feito pela sra. Aranha. Então a pequena carochinha correu para a casa dela e vestiu-se muito bem. Ela foi até a janela e começou a cantar: quem quer casar com a carochinha que é muito rica e muito bonitinha?Ela continuou a cantar, esperando que um candidato aparecesse. Adivinhem o que aconteceu? Eu vou-vos contar mais tarde... Por enquanto, eu só quero apresentar a minha versão da Srta. Little Cockroach!
Além de um lápis Viarco com a história da barata, do qual ainda tenho um exemplar, havia também um livro de receitas que acompanhava uma panela de pressão que a minha mãe comprou. A panela de pressão Silampos era um objeto muito útil na cozinha e bem conhecida na época! 
Estas são algumas ilustrações do livro que inspiraram minha versão da barata ...
Tentei versões diferentes... Ainda não tenho certeza do resultado final, por enquanto compartilho com vocês esta versão.
Até à próxima!

Triumph paper doll

I found this wonderful kind of paper doll on the web pages which could work like one. There is a model, in fact she is Lily Cole, a real model, and around thirty seven outfits created for the design of lingerie competition Triumph Inspiration Award 2011. The photo shoot was taken by the amazing photographer Ellen Von Unwerth.
I chose two looks that I liked,  but you can see the others here.
See you next week!
