Description:

Have you ever made an art doll using found or thrifted items? It's so much fun! There really aren't rules because it's ART, and you are allowed to let your creativity run wild. I do have a couple of rules as far as this swap goes, but trust me - these simple guidelines will not hinder your free artistic expression. This is not a paper doll swap, so the bulk of the doll needs to be something other than paper. Some paper is allowed, just not paper as the main material. The other rule has to do with size. The doll can be any size you wish but no smaller than six inches in height, please. I'd love to host another art doll swap for small dolls only - maybe next time!

For inspiration, google images of "assemblage art doll" or "mixed media art doll". You will be amazed!

Please ask questions and most of all, enjoy!

Yikes! I don't mean to intimidate anyone with the amazing photo above! That doll probably sold for several hundred dollars. It's amazing isn't it? Our dolls will no doubt be a bit more modest, but no less amazing, right? =) I wanted to show an example of art being created with assemblage type objects and Imagination!

I'm excited for this swap to get started! What a great group of swappers we have signed up so far. Next I'm thinking of hosting either an altered doll swap or a small (6 inch or smaller) art doll swap.
