My Dotees

In Dollstreet doll club we are doing a swap on Dotee dolls. The rules are as follows 1. The Dotee must have a fabric body, a hanging loop, and a 'tail'. 2. Make one to three dolls to trade. 3. Make the doll body between 3" and 6" long and no clay face. So this is what I did. I am not sure if they are what they should be but I liked this shape and made the dolls. They did not turn out as I had planned either but that is not surprising either lol! Oh I just realised that I have to add a handmade charm to it. So will do that later.

  2. Shashi,
    The shape of these is great, so elegant and with great movement. As always the faces are stunning.

  3. I love your Dottie! The others I have seen didn't appeal to me, but your's are totally different. Love the different shape you gave them. Very artsy.
