I discovered a paper doll set by Tom Tierney that I had never seen before - FALCON CREST Paper Dolls created as a gift for attendees of a paper doll convention in (I assume) Napa Valley California. The set features paper dolls of Lana Turner, Celeste Holm, Gina Lolabrigida, Jane Wyman, Lorenzo Lamas, and Robert Foxworthy.
The images are annoyingly watermarked but I sharped the focus so you can better see Tierney s artwork.
SOME NOTES FROM TOM!
“When Deanna asked me if I could come up with a set of souvenir paper dolls for this convention that would honor the Napa Valley's wine industry, I was a bit puzzled as to just what to do. First, a history of the industry would involve a lot of priests whose costumes are rather limited and who would all be male...not too promising a prospect for a paper doll set to my way of thinking. Finally I hit on the idea of a set of paper dolls based on some of the stars of the old TV series, "Falcon Crest." Since most paper doll fans love celebrity dolls, I decided to do a few of the stars who appeared in the nine year long night time soap opera set in the vineyards of California. This is a gift to the attendees of this paper doll convention and will not be for sale anywhere else, thus there should be no legal complications...all other rights for the use of this art remain with me, the artist!”
