What are Dotee- Newbie swap

If you have ever wondered what a Dotee is this is the swap for you.

Dotees are a free form shape made of fabric (usually novelty cotton but not limited to cotton) with no limbs.

With a string of beads or a ribbon looped for a Hanger

A simple face made on felt or fabric that is then sewn on the top front of the form.

Hair made from yarn, beads, our anything that you can think up.

With something dangling from the bottom of the form either beads or details of the theme, (as shown in the picture.) for a Tail

The Theme of the Dotee is usually in the title of the swap. More information will be in the body of the swap and the Minimum standers given.

For this swap you will choose what Dotee you wish to make and decorate to fitting the theme you choose. Themes can be either simple as a color ** or a challenge ** A Butterfly Dotee
