Description:

For this swap you will make one fabric dotee doll ATC for 2 partners (2 in total)

I got the idea for the swap when i came across Dots flickr photos (who created the dotee doll and started this craze) She's made the most amazing Dotee ATC's. Have a look HERE

The rules

1) One ATC for Two partners
2) ATCs should be standard size (2.5 x 3.5 in)
3) The ATC should be made from fabric not paper
4) Must have the body of a dotee and face.
5) Then embellish with beads, buttons, charms, brads etc, to your hearts content. 6) If you want to put a hanger and tail on
it you can, but you don't have to.

You can back your ATC with felt or card, its up to you. Mine is backed with felt and its turned out not too flimsy.

Sorry no newbies, but i'm giving plenty of time so you have time to be rated, and you must be rated on a snail mail swap not email. If you have had any 1's in the last 6 months please contact me as some people have been rated unfairly.

I will be banning before i assign partners. I want everone to receive an ATC and not be disappointed. If you are going to be late sending please contact your partner and let them know. If you haven't received please contact your partner before rating a one.

I would love to see what you've all made so i've set up a flickr group HERE Please share photos of your creations and any hints or tips in making the ATC's

Any questions or suggestions please post below or pm me.

Hi Lisa...

Is it okay if we attach fabric to a piece of cardboard? I would think it needs that or batting to keep it from being too flimsy.

Hiya, yes i'm sure thats fine as long as the front is fabric. I'm going to try and back with felt, see how that goes, i may end up resorting to card. My first few will be practice ones methinks

OH I would love to join but I only have one rating so far. I will sign up with the hopes of being excepted. If not I understand. I should be getting ratings within the next 2 weeks.

I hope so, Dot comes up with some amazing ideas doesn;t she:)

I am not sure I understand this trade. Is it for the ATCs only, or do we also make one dotee doll for each partner?

Oops! Nevermind, I just misread it the first time.

Please accept my apologies lovely people. I am dropping from this swap, I am just not confident at the moment and don't want to disappoint. Enjoy the swap y'all.
