The idea for these dolls was inspired by some wood cuts I saw over at Artchix Studio: http://www.artchixstudio.com/shop/files/marketing/2013/201309_mainpic.jpg I thought that I would really love to have a fun doll standing on my art table as a muse to inspire my creativity. For this project, you can buy or make your own doll shapes - from either thin wood or thick chipboard... they need to be sturdy so they can stand up and not get bent or broken with handling. Be sure to make a little stand to prop them up with too. Please make your dolls about 6" tall (not including embellishments such as antlers, crowns, etc.). They can be any style/shape you feel inspired to create. You will embellish the front entirely using pretty papers, ribbons, paint, images, or whatever you'd like. Please finish the back side so that it's presentable and don't forget to sign your work. You will mail your completed doll directly to your swap partner. Partners will be announced on Oct 26th.
