Description:

I haven't made any dolls for my dollhouses. I have dolls that I've adopted, but have yet to make one, and though I think it will be a challenge, I want to try.

Make a 3 dimensional doll (not a flat stuffed one. They don't work out too well- it can be fabric and stuffed, but not the flat kind. Does that make sense?) for your partner. I'm thinking that 1:12 would be a good size to work on.

Polymer, paper clay, paper mache'... It doesn't have to be jointed or anything like that... Let's just try! So NOTE: This is a 'try' swap, but also a 'sniff... cry for 3 hours because I just mailed the best thing I ever made to my partner... I'm making another!' Sticks, string, fabric... put your thinking caps on! I'm thinking 2.5"-3"... does that sound right?

Sender's choice and please be kind. I know this will be a first for me, but I do everything else, so I should be able to do this, too! I'm allowing an extra bit of time to get through this one!

Heavily trolling group apps, so we should all be good to go in this one... but I'll keep an eye out.

And here's a really inspiring link!

I love this one:

but I think it would be tough to scale her down for 1:12. I will have to do some experimenting!
