1:1 TRADING - DOLL-SHAPED "DOLLS of the WORLD" CARDS

[CiCiCreates]

You're right about the traditional Irish dress resembling Scottish dress. Main difference seems to be the plaids are various green shades. I have seen some with long, full skirts and green fringed shawls, wearing a kerchief on their head. You are also right about finding what look like very different costumes representing one country;....or a similar costume representing different countries (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the Scandinavian countries can look very similar). So that does make it easy to collect a "duplicate" of a country.

In a few days I should have pictures of some new little dolls. I am doing two Egypt girls so Linda can have a choice. One will be representative of the "ancient" attire, and the other will be more traditional (difficult to find!). Then I think I want to do a France (specifically Brittany) and maybe Turkey. I also think the Maori of New Zealand is very interesting....

[Linda4atc]

for CiCi, hey I was thinking after I did these that maybe I should have give the French girl white powdered hair. If you prefer I would make another.

[CiCiCreates]

No, I really like her just the way she is, thanks so much! Love Egypt too! Need to get busy on mine now.

[Linda4atc]

no hurry I still need to make 3 more. LOL not doing anymore today, I'm playing in the athon and want to play with some of my new goodies.

[CiCiCreates]

Just finished some new dolls and will post pics in a few days. Egypt (ancient); France (Brittany); and Sweden. Thought I'd wait with the pics until after the site "migration/sync" thing is done. Please, if you are subscribed to this thread, do consider making some little doll cards and joining the fun!

[Linda4atc]

I'll get some more made too. Just having fun with the ATART

I just discovered this thread today & all of these little dolls are adorable!. My hd/hp isn't up to snuff so I won't join in, but I'll keep lurking. This is such a fun, creative idea for trades.

[CiCiCreates]

Thanks for your lovely comments, LindyLu. You are surely welcome to lurk and comment anytime!

[CiCiCreates]

Here are my latest, Sweden and France (Brittany, where they wore fancy big lace headdresses).

[CiCiCreates]

Woops, forgot the attachments!

[CiCiCreates]

This one is Egypt (ancient). It is for trade with Linda4atc if she likes it.

[LindyLu]

I'm lovin' all these dollies.

[Linda4atc]

Ohh CiCi she is beautiful, thank you.

[CiCiCreates]

Ok, I will send her out then!

[CiCiCreates]

Linda, I'm glad you like the ancient Egypt representation. I didn't even post a pic of the one I made for a more traditional choice. First of all, it was really hard to find any pictures, and then after I found one and drew her, I discovered she was most likely misrepresented, and looks a lot like Afghanistan instead. I will probably post her eventually, pics of their costumes are gorgeous - bright jewel-tone colors with lots of metallic dangles!

[CiCiCreates]

Still available for trade: Norway Boy, Norway Girl, Haiti, Denmark, Spain Boy, Mexico, France, Sweden. Show me what you have to trade, I'm always ready to make more!

(Norway girl has been traded, all others are still available)

[CiCiCreates]

I tried to update my available cards in the pictures above, so you don't have to go searching through the thread to see what I still have.

[LindyLu]

Sweet little dollies.
