Description:

This month, we will make our one partner, one doll using Found Object items.

There is often confusion on what a found object is so I thought I would offer a definition for this swap. Found objects in art are objects that are being used for art, though they were not originally intended for that purpose. For example, an umbrella is not made for art but an artist can take that umbrella and create something wonderful using artistic expression. You can repurpose almost anything in found object art. Found objects can also be cool pieces of metal, or interesting items that you do find on the ground, like rusty bottle caps from parking lots or other interesting items that you literally find on the ground. I often use a combination of the two. I hope you have a great time with this swap.

Please sign and date your doll.
