Description:

This is going to be a fun, simple swap. Just create one paperdoll out of anything you like (magazine photos, paper, wood, cardboard, etc) and include two outfits created from any medium. Get as creative as you can with this. You can make the joints moveable, add accessories, use real fabric, charms, whatever. Just have fun and make something that another person would enjoy. Do some searches online for ideas (Google images, Etsy, flickr, etc.) and I'll try to post some links as well. Please do NOT simply print a paperdoll from the web or send pre-made ones. Altered paperdolls are acceptable so long as you put a lot of effort into making them unique.

Internationals and newbies with full profiles welcome. Established swappers should have at least a 4.8 rating. Any no-sends must be explained to me before partners are assigned or else I'll have to ban people. Since we're sending shortly before Christmas and everyone will be extra busy, I'm giving you a full month to get this swap done. Please do not send late and rate promptly!!! Let me know at any time if there are questions, comments, concerns, or suggestions. Enjoy!

P.S. If someone else has done a similar swap, let me know and I'll be happy to credit them with the idea.
