Description:

Create 1 paper doll, mounted on a #8 tag. For this swap your doll should be a persona or character, and you will write a short letter or story for your partner telling who this doll is. So it's like storytelling and crafting, all in one swap.

Maybe your doll is Alice in Wonderland? Maybe your doll is your favorite celebrity? Maybe your doll is YOU or someone you know. Use your paper doll art to help illustrate this character.

Guidelines:
1. Use sturdy paper stock for your doll. For this swap - paper doll is cut out and layered onto background. Joints are optional.
2. Mount the doll to a sturdy #8 shipping tag (these are the 6 ¼ by 3 1/8 inch size) with your choice of background décor.
3. Write a short letter or story that tells who the doll is and flourish your story however you wish. Fact or fiction – it's all up to your creative imagination. The doll could illustrate your original story, or an existing tale if you credit the original author. Story length should be at least a few sentences or a poem, no maximum limit.
4. Senders choice all the way on this one! Bring your imagination to life and let it run free!

(swap graphic is from the Graphic45 website - I don't know who the artist was but I loved that Dorothy on this tag!) .
Group rules apply for joining this swap. I'll check that everybody still has at least 4.98 rating, and will angel in the unlikely case that anybody gets flaked on.

Is the story supposed to be on the back of the tag or separate?

Does the doll need to have accessories or be articulated?

I was envisioning the story on a separate page, but you could incorporate it into the artwork if you want.
There is no requirement for accessories or articulation on this swap, but you should definitely try to build that story with the doll and tag by using some kind of layering. The swap photo would be a good example.
Thanks for the questions!
