Description:

By popular demand, here is Crazy Paper Dolls #3. If you have made one before, you know what to do. If you're new, here's how it works.

You will make one paper doll for one partner by putting together images of head, torso and limbs cut from magazines, catalogs, flyers - any kind of junk mail. Try not to get too hung up on "That's not a head," or "those aren't legs." If they seem like legs, go ahead and use them. A fanned out set of lip-glosses works just fine as a skirt, as you can see from the photo. You're looking for shapes and proportion.

The doll does not have to stand up, but it might be a good idea to reinforce it with cardboard or card stock - the paper quality for junk mail can be pretty flimsy. You will mail your doll flat in an envelope.

This is an international swap. Please don't sign up if you aren't willing to spend the postage. These dolls are easy and fun to make - an hour spent with a stack of magazines and catalogs should furnish enough material for at least a couple of dolls!

This swap is open to unrated new swappers. For the rest of you, high marks, please!

I have never participated in a swap yet. I have been watching so I know more or less how it works. is there a page where we later on will be able to see the different dolls?

  • face of the doll has to be the swapper face?

thanks...I'll be back to read replies tonight :)

sounds like a fun swap. Thank U!

Hi Mishap - sure, you can use animal parts, like a cat head on a human body, or bird legs or something. It should mostly resemble a person, however, regardless of what parts you use.

Hi Ivonne, No, there isn't a gallery where we'll be able to see all the dolls, I'm afraid. Or if there is a gallery feature to Swap Bot I haven't found it! You don't have to use your face for the doll's face, but you are certainly welcome to do that. It's a fun idea.

I sent mine out a few days ago and forgot to mark it as "sent" until just now. Sorry!
