Dotee dolls are the brainchild of Dorothy Christian. They have lightly stuffed cloth bodies of simple shapes, with no legs or arms. They have a loop at the top for hanging, and a decorative “tail” of beads, tassels, ribbon streamers, etc. They also have a disk shape for a painted or embroidered face. It can be sewn on or glued on, made of felt, fabric, thin wood or clay. They should measure around 3”-4”, excluding hanger and tail.
Some cute examples can be found on Pinterest, or even our own AFA gallery. I will also post my own little samples below. These should be VALENTINE-themed, so reds and pinks (plus other colors if you like), hearts, lace, etc! Please join me in the creation of these fun little dolls!
MAILING GUIDELINES:

Welcome Notinkansas and jfaskdown! Happy lurking , Trina! I think the last Dotee Doll Swap was hosted by Notinkansas a few years back. It was my first introduction to Dotees.
Beginnings…I think her name is Eve! Bare bones but just wanted to post her start. And funny that I probably have a million beads but not the ones I want! Lol
I'd love to try my hand at this. I received one as a gift a long time ago and they are just adorable!
