I really want to do this but I'd knit the body and I don't know if I have time to squeeze this in before the send date.

Let me see how my current projects go and I can always sign up closer to the last day of sign up.

I love knitting dolls!

Thanks cobaltgypsy!:-) It came to me the other night @ a Mabon ritual. If this goes well, I think I'm going to start a few themed ones.:-) If you have time, indigo, that would be great!

I would love to do this...but we are moving on Nov 1st and I'll need at least 2 weeks to unpack before doing major craft projects...I hope you do another one though!

I love the color symbolism

yellow - success

white - positive

red - power

purple - spirituality

green - money

blue - love

Greenwoodtree, I will have more swaps for the voodoo doll/poppet lovers! You could always host one after you get moved in! (hint,hint):-)

Question, these don't have to be soft dolls? I'm thinking about a seashell doll of Yemayah...

How about altering a found ceramic doll into a goddess or spell bearer of fortune?

dangerine - Your interpretation.:-)
