Hm. I didn't even think about baking parchment. It would probably have worked, but I've just finished putting the craft paper down. (I'd even thought about using brown kraft paper, but it would have been too dark.)

As far as the doll, she's about 4inches tall. I did say she was tiny -- she's a souvenir doll from when Lori & Beth (our across-the-street friends) went off to Africa on mission with their parents when I was 9. They may not even make doll stands that small, but since I can't even find "standard" size stands around here, I have no way of knowing.
