The possibilities are endless! We can use virtually any material and medium. Each doll's theme is sender's choice, and could be anything. Elements can be sewn or glued, doesn't matter. The doll's body is fabric, with stuffing inside. Some ideas for embellishment materials are:

  • Sequins
  • Beads
  • Charms
  • Yarn
  • Ribbon
  • Buttons
  • Feathers
  • Rickrack
  • Lace
  • Felt
  • Paint
  • Suede cording or jewellery chain
  • Beaded trim
  • Bits of fabric
  • Glitter
  • Chenille stems

Really... the sky's the limit! =)

Ideas for doll themes:

  • Compassion
  • Courage
  • Transition
  • Transformation
  • Money
  • Closeness to Spirit
  • Psychic Dreams
  • Fruition

TO SAVE ON POSTAGE, we could always ship them flat without their stuffing, and then we could stuff them when we receive them. Yes, no? Only bad thing is is that if we do that, we can't place a crystal or herbs inside it. I have dried lavender and have access to tons of essential oils and crystals :)

I think we should go ahead and stuff them. They will be heavier but we should be able to save for postage by them :) I am so excited about this swap!!

Very true! We will do that, then :D I'm really excited!!!!

Went ahead and assigned each other as partners because it's just us and we know when the deadline is, et cetera et cetera :)
