Description:

Let's start with a simple, one-piece paper doll that we can use as a bookmark if we like.

HERE is the template we will use.

(We won't include the mermaid tail or wings, just the basic body shape for this first go 'round. If this idea is popular, we will have a lot more freedom in the next swap.)

Your doll should be approximately 6-8” long and flat enough to not damage book pages.

There's a small challenge: This is sender's choice so you may make the doll in any style you like --- funky, silly, sophisticated, punk, steampunk, fantasy, girly, childish, etc. --- but you must use a photo image of your own face for its face. Scanned or printed is fine, it doesn't have to be an original photo. These give you an idea of how to use your face photo:

Please have fun with this and just do your best - we all have to start somewhere! (";)

Terry, I have adverts all over the swap description and cannot see the dates - can you let me know please? (Is there a way to get rid of these overlapping adds do you know?) Looking forward to this :)

Not to worry - now I have signed up for the swap, I can see the dates on my dashboard!

My image is mucking up the formatting - so sorry.

Sign up by date is Jan 6.

Send by date is Jan 23.

Do the arms have to be up like in the template, or can they be down like in your finished examples? It's just that the up position looks so tiring. It will be harder to relax and read knowing that my flat little friend can't unwind either. ;)

Since this is a beginner swap, I would ask that you please use the template provided.

If there is enough interest in this first swap, I will be happy to do another one with a lot more leeway in the design.

Thx. (";)

I can't see a template at all? Even when I click on the link....?

TerryF 01/ 2/2012 #

I just clicked on the link and it works fine from my end - here it is:

If you still have problems, please let me know and I can email it to you.

I see it now! Thanks. We can add feet right :)

TerryF 01/ 4/2012 #

You may add feet as long as they are within the outline of the template provided.

I am not trying to be picky here, just want to keep it simple for us beginners. (";)
