This swap is inspired by an artist named Al Kidwell he made art dolls from found objects. He was into altered art long before any of us thought of it. The swap photo shows one of his dolls. "Mystical Lady on the Beach" her body is driftwood.

This is my version of a wood doll

This swap is to make a doll with a driftwood or natural wooden body of some kind. It's base could be bark or found in the woods you don't have to go to the beach to find wood. It can be altered if need be to stand properly. The face can be carved or applied out of any media you work with. Your face doesn't have to have features but there has to be a suggestion of a face. Many of my dolls don't have faces. Please make sure any materials you use are clean.

Does it have to free stand?

No it doesn't to be free standing. I have some that stand on their own and some that hang on the wall. I like my dolls to be able to stand up to be displayed but it doesn't have to have a stand.
