Description:
I know what you're thinking...a doll...really? "But I don't even sew"...me either...but there alot of other ways to create a Frida doll! Of course, if you're a talented seamstress you can design your own doll or crochet an ami...but how about the rest of us? How about an altered domino doll or a spool doll or an altered Barbie a la Frida? You could even sculpt your own Frida doll or make a felt plushie. For more inspiration, just google Frida dolls. FUN STUFF: Create an artful Frida doll that is so wonderful you can hardly bear to send it:) This is sender's choice. I know we are all so busy with the holidays, that I've set a late January send date. NOT SO FUN STUFF: Send timely (no late sends please) and rate promptly! Sorry...no papercrafts, atcs or paperdolls. The credit for the doll in the pix above goes to: http://wendilerias.blogspot.com

Really wish I could do this.....but I'm no good at sewing or sculpting or carving LOL But I look forward to seeing what you come up with Lu, good luck!

It's a little out of my comfort zone too, since I do mostly papercrafts, but I want to try something different:) Hope you'll reconsider, Lori.

I'll only reconsider if it's just you and me.....cos I know you'd forgive me if mine was a flop whereas someone else might not be so forgiving. But i see there are 2 in the swap so maybe if you want to do a private one, I'd try it at least!!

Did you see my "I Love Frida Group" Holiday Frida swap??

Hey Lori! I've joined the swap and I wouldn't mind if the doll you created wasn't perfect : )

luleemik 12/ 4/2011 #

This is my first attempt at something like this too...so don't let that stop you:)

Hey Rachel, thanks for that. I will wait until near the end of the sign up, if it's just us 3, I will give it a try then! Thanks for the encouragement :)))))

Hey Rachel, thanks for that. I will wait until near the end of the sign up, if it's just us 3, I will give it a try then! Thanks for the encouragement - both of you!! :)))))

Lori- I would love a Frida doll from ANY of you ladies- I usually alter barbies and porcelain dolls as creepy zombies so this is a great challenge IMO- I'm positive what you and everyone else creates will be loved by her new owner!

What positive encouragement @2planetearth ! You're my kind of swapper:) Personally, I would luv a zombie Frida, but I know I'll luv anything I receive. Swappers will be assigned tomorrow when I get home from work. Thanks to all for participating....{hugs}

OMG- @luleemik the temptation to now make a zombie Frida- you have NO idea what door you opened! LOL So you all know, I know I'm "late" on this swap but I am in full communication with my lovely partner @tiaragoth Oh @Lorivintage55 I have always been in love with your swaps. Now I run back to my tissues, Amoxicillian, (sp) Benadryl, and the cough medicine with Codine- again- so sorry for the spelling.
