This swap is for a 3-D art doll collaboration,
The concept: Mail dolls among six artists, each artist contributing something to the work in progress. In the end each artist will receive back her doll with the art work and additions of the other 5 artists.
Rules for a rotation like this;
There are no withdrawals.
You will need a starter doll; torso,body parts you got from a store and put together.
If you would like to circulate some sort of journal with your doll so each artist can remark on their efforts when working on your doll, you may make something for this to include in the box when shipping. Nothing elaborate, but with 6 pages so each person can journal….or record your dolls rowdy partying while at their house!!
Postage & Mailing:
You will need some sort of mailing box that will hold your doll and last for six months of being opened repackaged and shipped off. No larger than 9x12 inch box to keep mailing costs down, no smaller than a small priority mailer from the US post. These are 3D dolls that will be shipped and mailed each month.
Dolls need to be mailed ON OR BEFORE the 15th of the month to the next artist in the travel plan.
Here is the doll I am working on, I nailed a plastic face to a pineapple and the pineapple head has been glued to a cigar box. It's under 7 inches tall.
I have cloth arms and legs that I am sewing....
don't expect any fancy stitchery...but then again....that will give it character right??
No it's a really hard plastic....but hollow-ish.
We have family that sent the kids some "vintage" fake fruit and veggie toys, I ripped this off just knowing the potential it could be for me!! HA.
WOOOHOO! Yeah I just picked up that face for .25 cents at a salvation army place!!! i could NOT resist using it.
I always HAVE to stop at the wayward hole in the wall donation places and I never come out empty handed. *weirdo* hahaha!
I haven't even freaking looked at the chart! It does make sense that we don't always mail to the same person every time in case we want to send cookies or something with the dolly
i'm so excited!
