Yes, THIS is the article that Facebook won’t let me (or anyone else) link to.
Updating this website, I stumbled upon these doll patterns, and decided to make them available again.
All of these patterns are free to print and use.
But… these are OLD patterns from ~15 or more years ago, designed to print on 8.5″ x 11″ paper, but at a very low resolution. (I’m working on improving them, right now.)
As usual, these are free patterns for personal use. (You CAN make dolls from them, and then sell those dolls. It’s just the patterns that are for personal use, meaning that you can’t put your name on the patterns and sell them.)
If you would like to feature these patterns on your own website, you MUST include my copyright with the patterns. (In other words, be considerate. Please don’t remove my copyright and claim you created the patterns, yourself.)
If you’d like to reproduce these patterns for a class or workshop, that’s fine as long as the copyright remains on them, and you don’t charge anything extra for the patterns.
These patterns moved here from my (former) Wild Art Dolls website. If any links don’t seem to work, let me know in a comment, below. Thanks!
Here are the patterns & links. If any of the links don’t work for you, leave a comment and let me know.

The patterns and instructions are in PDF format.
You will need: Belle pattern pieces or the pattern for her sister, Tallulah.

Dangerous Women – a free, online doll pattern Print it from your screen, and/or enlarge the pattern so the “one inch” line really is one inch. The doll shown in this post’s header (above) is made from this pattern. (I later added optional wings.)
Margaret Mary Fitzcalory-Smythe – a free, online doll pattern with no directions yet.
WARNING: She is a VERY skinny doll. I recommend enlarging each pattern piece by 1/4″ to 1/2″ on ALL sides.

I haven’t made an art doll in for eeever, maybe I should change that soon. 🙂
LOL… it sounds like a good idea. I’ve noticed other long-time friends returning to art dolls, too. Maybe it’s about comfort? Or about making truly FUN art? Or a renewed enthusiasm for dolls as an art form? All of the above? Whatever is sparking this, I’m delighted!
