Description:

This is an international swap. You will make 1 doll with a dark fairy theme for 1 partner.

Please note that the doll you will make for your partner should NOT be a Dotee doll. Dotees are great, but that type of doll has been in the majority of doll-making swaps recently. This swap is for something different.

You can make the doll for your partner using a fairy tale theme but remember this is for a dark fairy. When I say dark I mean the colors used will be blacks, deep indigos, dark purples, etc. Sparkles and shine are fine as additions, but work more toward the goth-y style, not the Disney style. I don't mean for your fairy to be evil (necessarily) -- while you work, think good, deep thoughts.

It's your choice how to make this doll -- fabric, clay, clothespin or sturdy paper. But it should not be in the Dotee style. Work at least three inches tall and no larger than 12 inches. Dress it up, do work you'd be happy to receive.

Included with your doll should be a card for your partner with the doll's name and a short version of her fairy story.

RULES & REGS: You must have completed at least one non-email swap at Swap-botto join.

You must be rated 4.8 or higher when the swap sign-up closes, and show no recent "no sends". If there are special circumstances, please message me directly.

You must have a completed profile with links to pictures showing they kinds of art and craft work you have done in the past. Flickr is a free on-line photosharing service where you can post pics if you don't already have them somewhere else.

People new to Swap-bot -- if you have not been rated, please message me and I'll consider setting up a separate swap for a group of you.

If you sign up for this swap, I expect you to send. If you run into any problems sending on time, I expect you to communicate directly with your partner and with me about what is going on.

As the swap is international, please sign up only if you are willing to send outside your home country.

Sign up by June 1, send by July 1.

Nice to see some familiar names already signing on! Thanks!

Hhhmmm...I have been floating some ideas around in my head for the past few days about making some goth dolls by altering Barbies (removing all their face paint and redoing, restructuring the hair, re-molding the arms etc.) so I was excited to see this swap but I guess one of those would be too tall for this swap, right?

Coffeelatte 04/21/2008 #

I'd be totally up for an altered Barbie if you are my partner, Rockdiva...and I actually know someone else who I think would be interested altering Barbies for a swap too...

What's the rest of the group think?

cerwinrhiannon 05/11/2008 #

Yes, altered Barbies rock! And they can look SO scary.

Degard 05/14/2008 #

Well, I actually don't like barbies so I wouldn't really want one.

My own idea was to do something like a chibi-styled ragdoll because I found this really cute site http://dollmaker.nunodoll.com/mini/mini.html

but that was just me :P

Just a note that Rock Diva doesn't seem to have signed up yet, so any of you who are worried about getting an altered Barbie should speak now. Right now I don't think there's a consensus for or against.

My mom fell and broke her knee, so I will be travelling to California next week to stay with her. The drs think they will do surgery on Thursday the 22nd...She doesn't have a computer in her apartment, so I will have to use the one in their community room and will not be on-line as much as I am usually. Just a heads-up to you all...

I love gothic altered Barbies, so I am more than happy to receive one : )

Degard 05/22/2008 #

I'm very very sorry, but I'm entering school term ending projects and they're literally absorbing me, so I'll have to drop this swap because I don't want to do an ugly doll just because I lack time, it would be unfair for my partner, sorry u.u

Wow you all sound grate I hope my last swap partner rates me in time to be involved. I love the runo site to I have made a doll from their before. I just hope my skills do not disappoint.

Coffeelatte 05/28/2008 #

Degard...sorry to see you go.

A couple more days, and then swap partners will be assigned!

Coffeelatte 06/ 3/2008 #

Partners assigned! Now go and make some fantastic faeries!
