Description:

I'm new to the world of Dotee dolls, and unfortunately I don't see many swaps for them.

So I decided to make my own! I hope many people share the love and dotee dolls and want to join.

If you don't know what a Dotee doll is, here's some links on what they are, and how to make one.

For this swap you are to create one Dotee Doll, no smaller than 6 inches, for your partner in either a paranormal creature, or mythological creature. Here are some examples:

  • Mermaid
  • Vampire
  • Ghost
  • Zombie
  • Werewolf
  • Bigfoot
  • Loch Ness Monster
  • fairies
  • Elves
  • Witches

And many more! Please don't limit yourself to this list, there are so many other creatures just dieing to become a dotee doll. THIS IS SENDER'S CHOICE, but please be sure to also check your partner's profile for any particular interest they may have. Can be cute, creepy, scary, or a bit of everything. Please don't rate down if you don't like the particular style of doll they made you!

Work hard on your creation! Make it as if you was going to trade it to your partner in person; something you should be proud of. :)

4.9 or higher rating, USA/Canada only; if anyone would like to personally trade with me internationally please PM me! I don't know how popular this swap will be so at the moment this will only regional. Newbies are welcome, but please have your profile filled out!

I will angel anyone that has had a partner flake on them.

Happy Crafting!

This looks great! I personally love all mythical creatures EXCEPT the moth man. He just freaks me out too much. lol

Saristotle 06/17/2014 #

This sounds really awesome but I've never made a dotee. I may have to practice and then join.

simplyshereena 06/17/2014 #

I'm glad people seem to enjoy this swap!

I encourage anyone of any skill level to join. My sewing skills are limited to embroidery and basic hand stitches, so these are super fun to make. :)

lockerelf 06/18/2014 #

I agree! Your sewing skills don't have to be perfect as long as you put some heart in it. :)

simplyshereena 06/19/2014 #

And I love the mothman! XD I live about twenty minutes away from Point Pleasant, so I'm pretty familiar with the local lore surrounding it. :D

kiddomerriweather 06/21/2014 #

I adore the mothman! He's my favorite cryptid of all time! I'm so excited about this swap. If I get @lockerelf as a partner, I promise not to make the mothman. lol

lockerelf 06/21/2014 #

lol Thank you! He gives me all sorts of oogies. I'm DYING to make a bigfoot one, though, out of some fake fur I have. Hopefully, I'll get a bigfoot lover!

I have never made a dotee doll,but this looks like a lot of fun, and I'm ready to give it a try !

dixiehellcat 06/25/2014 #

I'd never even heard of dotees but they sound really neat, if y'all don't mind a noob with minimal sewing skills joining. :) (ooh, or can you knit dotees? or crochet? hah! if so I got it made in the shade. hehe)

dixiehellcat 06/25/2014 #

never mind, I looked them up and see how they are done. kind of a matryoshka shape! this is gonna be fun. For the record I love all cryptids. :) I'd love to make a mermaid though, so let's see who I get.

simplyshereena 06/28/2014 #

Oooh yes, if I got a bigfoot dotee doll I would cry with happiness! I am making a mermaid at the moment, so I hope whoever gets it will like mermaids.

Yes, minimal sewing is welcomed! As long as you put hard work and love into it, it will shine will awesomeness. ^^ And knitting or crocheting a dotee doll sounds like an awesome idea!! I actually made a pattern for a dotee shaped doll to crochet up one day. c:

JLVerde 07/ 2/2014 #

Ooh, a knit or crochet dotee would be awesome. I love both but can't do either.

simplyshereena 07/15/2014 #

How's everyone's Dotee dolls coming along? c:

I'd love to have another one next month, maybe along the same themes as paranormal/supernatural/mythological. Any one have ideas? Maybe a specific creature everybody loves?

JLVerde 07/17/2014 #

@simplyshereena we could do partner's choice paranormal and make what our partner wants. That could be fun.

dixiehellcat 07/19/2014 #

mine is done! Can't get to the PO until Tues :( but I hope my partner means what they said about what they like. heh, heh. :D

simplyshereena 07/26/2014 #

That's a great idea! I think I'll make that swap soon.

Mine is finished and ready to be mailed! Hope my partner likes it. c:
