Description:

Hellooooooo, Swappers! This is an invitation to swap small, handmade dolls which are NOT Dotees. OK, the Dotees are cute, but in the name of Creativity we need to try out something else!

So lets go...

  1. This is an international swap.

  2. Ratings of 4.75 or higher, newbies can send me a message. Or massage.

  3. Dollies should be about the size to fit in your hand.. not too big, to cut down shipping costs.

  4. The idea is to challenge yourself to make something new, so this does not have to be perfect! It does not matter if you never made a doll before, just give it a shot.

  5. Any Dotees trying to sneak in will be taken to the back alley and slapped around a bit.

I really love this swap, but it's a bit too soon for me. I'll join if you host this again in the summer.

Tatiswaps 02/11/2008 #

I love this swap too, but would love if it could be later... but loved the idea!! =)

Denise 02/11/2008 #

ROFLMAO That is hilarious! and AMEN!

lamborama 02/11/2008 #

If this one goes well, I will definitely re-host in early summer.

Can you give some examples of other craft dolls? I've never made one except the dotees. I'm on number 4. Are icicle dolls different enough? What about paper dolls?

lamborama 02/11/2008 #

I think not paper dolls for this swap, but you can definitely use techniques other than sewing... knitting, wood beads for faces... anything really. Just think of what looks like a cute, lovable, lovely doll to you and make it!

lamborama 02/11/2008 #

OK, mini poll. What do the rest of you think of icicle dolls?

MusingsofaSouthernGirl 02/11/2008 #

That has to be one of the funniest write ups ever....LOL!

Personaly, I love the icicle dolls. (I'm hosting a spring themed icicle doll swap. Last day to sign up is Feb. 15)

cerwinrhiannon 02/12/2008 #

Beaded dolls are very cool as well.

Timeless63 02/12/2008 #

LOL i could use the massage as well! Send me one too! I am in the middle of trying to get into debt up to my eyeballs. Buying furniture and such for our new house. So i am scared to sign up at this point. Do host again and i will give it a shot! New house will have sewing area so i can finally learn to sew! Or attempt to! :-)

Timeless63 02/12/2008 #

Boy that was clear. I meat time wise with the moving and shopping experience, not that i cant afford a piece of fabric and such! (it is too early to make sense)

alleycat 02/14/2008 #

Too funny....as much as I love dotees...I like doing different things, so this is too good to pass up!

HarmonyNY 02/17/2008 #

Woohoo I am so excited about this swap. i just learned how to make really cute dolls and this is a good chance to learn from somebody else also. BTW, I could use one of those massages too :)

Lamborama, I guess I am considered a newbie since I have just one completed swap that was rated. I am currently hosting a swap (I am sooo addicted). Do I need permission to join this one?

lamborama 02/18/2008 #

HarmonyNY, no problem with you joining, especially since you've already got a good rating. Welcome aboard!

HarmonyNY 02/18/2008 #

yeay! thanks :)

purplewhimsy 02/19/2008 #

I would so love to join this swap and expand my repertoire, but I have sooooooooooo many swaps due in March, especially the first two weeks of March, that I just don't have time to challenge myself to doing something new! But I'll definitely watch for this to some around again later!!! I think I blew soda out of my nose from laughing so hard at #5 of your description!

What is an icicle doll? They don't sound very soft. I love (and make) knitty, stitchy dolls. Esma, (the doll) is almost done, I just need to make her a little suitcase, in case it's a long trip in the mail.

lamborama 02/20/2008 #

An icicle doll is... hmmm, in my opinion a dotee in icicle shape! It's pointy... and has a face... err, umm, search for icicle doll on flickr and you'll see :)

HarmonyNY 02/20/2008 #

The dolls I were planning on making aren't soft either...They can be any kind of handmade dolls beside the dotee type, right?

lamborama 02/20/2008 #

Yup, ANY knid of handmade doll which is not a dotee!

lamborama 02/20/2008 #

kind, not knid

Trout 02/20/2008 #

Where's the vermicious knid?

lamborama 02/21/2008 #

It's right behind you, Trout!

Trout 02/21/2008 #

AHHHH!

ColourfulDaze 02/24/2008 #

I SOOO want to join this swap, GREAT discription!! But, sadly, like many others I will have to wait until the next one....too many swaps in March for me already too :(

HarmonyNY 02/25/2008 #

LOLOL My daughter also signed up for this swap and she ended up getting me as a partner...On my trip to the post office, I'll be dropping off a package to myself from her...too funny...I guess I know what doll I'm getting! :P

Monilynn3 02/25/2008 #

HarmonyNY 02/25/2008 #

Monilynn3 02/26/2008 #

yew cant ground me im 18 missy :p im a grown woman ;)

lamborama 03/13/2008 #

OK, confession... I'm a total dork. I just finished my dolly to send out, and my son went and grabbed the one I received because he said they go together, and i spent a minute all by myself having a dolly conversation. My doll to be sent wanted to go to the mall, but my received dolly (who is older and wiser) had to do her homework. Yup, I'm officially goofy!
