This is a kawaii dotee doll swap. You will make one dotee doll for your partner inspired by kawaii and using kawaii supplies.

Newbies are welcome but please no flakers. Do not join if you do not intend to create and send a dotee doll for your partner.

What is a Dotee Doll? Dotee dolls were created by Dorothy Christian. They are small, handmade dolls that usually measure about 5 inches tall, have a loop on their heads for hanging and a tail hanging from the bottom of the doll. The tails are usually made with beads and charms while the doll is embellished with any materials the artist chooses to use.

Notice: If anyone flakes let me know and I will angel.

do i have 2 sew it or can i crochet it. can i make an animal instead?

amberrenee 10/26/2011 #

I think they can be crocheted as well.. and you can also make it an animal as long as it has the basic dotee traits.

oh I would love to join but i am still only very new to making dotee dolls. Not sure if i am good enough yet LOL :) I need someone who has been making dotee`s for a while to take a peek . If anyone can help please message me and let me know i can email photo's just worried that i am not good enough and need more practice. Don't want to let my swap buddy down
Thanks :) Happy swapping

I sent you a message! I'd love to peek! I'm sure you won't let your swap buddy down. ;)

Amberrenee, do u kno what's a swap partner? I'm a newbie at this...

amberrenee 10/26/2011 #

When the swap signup time is complete you will receive your partner. You can view the options for this swap here. After you receive your partner you send that person a kawaii (Japanese for cute) style doll and you get one in return from someone else. After the swap is complete you rate each other and the coordinator according to if the package was received or not (if for some reason a swap partner doesn't send the item -- that's called a flake -- please let me know and I'll send a package to you instead which is called angeling). Does any of that make sense? I feel like I'm being confusing.. haha..

I have no idea of what kawaii is.. but the picture is cute! I'd love to join but I don't really know what this is.. sorry.. what are kawaii supplies?? thanks for helping!!

amberrenee 10/28/2011 #

Kawaii means cute in Japanese and refers to Japanese-style cute stuff. You can see the dictionary under help for more information about terms and swapping. :)

maisonlula 10/28/2011 #

ok! I was confused, I'm still a little confused on the japanese style. me and my partner are korean so we don't understand 'japanese kawaii' but is it asian cute? or purely japanese? or is korean cute style ok?

maisonlula 10/28/2011 #

ohhh i get it now!! i did some more research and I understand kawaii style now. its very similar to korean style but its more crazy than korean style.. it looks too much for me I think... I am researching some more things and I think I prefer a zakka style than kawaii... but good luck to this swap!!

amberrenee 10/31/2011 #

oooo a zakka dotee doll swap is a good idea.. :)

fluffyporscha 11/ 2/2011 #

Ok now I'm in

ollie999100 11/ 4/2011 #

i want to join but it would be my first ever swap

emilyjane 11/ 5/2011 #

can we make our dotee in the image of a kawaii character? Just to check before I start squealing over reference photos of Keroppi or Rilakkuma!

amberrenee 11/ 5/2011 #

yes sure!!!

PurpleDragonFlies1126 11/12/2011 #

Can someone show me pictures? I have never seen one of these dolls and are there instructions for making them? I love crafts and would love to join this swap!

inge1702 11/14/2011 #

and now what must i do :-)

mekho 11/16/2011 #

is it ok if my dotee doll is around two inches tall instead of five inches? cause i have trouble concentrating on projects bigger than my hand. :)

EnchantedKittenz 11/23/2011 #

@twobluecrows That was an interesting video, made me know exactly what they were. I'm not sure if I could make them though. My sewing skills are pretty crappy right now. I might try this when they get better.

inge1702 12/14/2011 #
