Viva la Frida Group Members! It's time for another swap! Thanks to SacredSnatch for the idea!

If you would like to join, please join the Viva la Frida Group!

Create a Frida Paper Doll out of sturdy material (i.e., cardstock). You may create her all in one piece, or you may attach her limbs with brads to make her "moveable".

Size: She should be able to be shipped in a "letter" sized envelope(regular business sized, rectangular shaped). Make your doll 6-10 inches. If you have protruding objects that may rip your envelope during the postal process, please protect as necessary.

Keep in mind that your partner may want to display her on a shelf, wall, or frame, so make her really, really PRITTTTY!

Embellish the heck outta her! Use your own drawings to create her, or copyright free images.

Include fabric or other notions if you wish.

Accessorize with extras (purse, jewelry, monkey, flowers) if you like! Just be artistic and creative!

Include a small note of your process for your partner to read, if you'd like.


Please have a 4.7+ rating and no-nosends in the last 3 months.

You may begin creating now!


Any questions? Please PM me or comment below!

azrosieposie 07/23/2008 #

Sure! I'll extend it by two weeks!

azrosieposie 07/23/2008 #

Marion, I think you can join after you have sent (5) swaps out?? I can't remember! But hopefully you'll get the ratings you need in time!

Drachenfrau 07/23/2008 #

Great, thanks Rosie! :-)

i have sent four swaps.. just about to send the fifth.. being in australia makes it all go very snaily! so the ratings are coming in very slowly.. all i can see is the glisten of the snail trail in the distance, the snail has not arrived with my ratings yet!

marionjoy 07/28/2008 #

i will get making it.. and hope some ratings come in time...

azrosieposie 07/28/2008 #

marionjoy...your comment made me laugh! I have faith that your ratings will be fine! Darn that snail! LOL

marionjoy 07/30/2008 #

Drachenfrau 07/31/2008 #

Cool Marion! :-)

I loved the idea of this swap and kinda got over anxious. My swap is just about ready (and I'm never early with swaps!). But I guess I'm old school...when I read "paperdoll" I had something else in mind. Here's to hoping my swap partner knows about the old time paper dolls and finds a bit of humor in my Frida Paperdoll. She'll come complete with wardrobe. jeje

I'm sure it's fantastic! Thx for being early! ;o)

I hope everyone wil post pictures of their Frida dolls. I am really curious to see what you all came up with. This has been too fun to make!!

azrosieposie 08/21/2008 #

Yes! I say we for sure post pics of our dolls on this swap listing! All you have to do is go to the Yellow Box at the top of the page and click on "Upload Image"! Then to view all the photos, just click on the link above the Frida image and it says " Launch Gallery Slideshow".

Very cool option! I wish I used it more!
