Description:

I've gotten into Dotee Dolls recently and decided to do a Dotee Doll swap!

For this swap, you'll be making your partner a Dotee inspired by the Sea and Beach. It can be a creature that lives in the sea or along the beach, or a figure of legend such as a Mermaid, Merman, etc.

It can also be a person dressed for the beach, a beach toy, beach item ( chair, sunglasses, beach bag), a plant or tree you might find near a beach, a beach house, or something you create out of the sand like a sandcastle or a person buried in the sand. As long as it includes the beach/sea/ocean, you're fine.

The choice is yours! Be creative! Get inspired!

In General, Dotees need to be 3-6 inches tall and have a face, a hanger and a tail. Google has some great ideas for Dotee dolls.For this swap, you don't necessarily have to make a square Dotee. As long as it follows the general Dotee guidelines, creativity is fine by me!

Newbies with a well filled out profile are welcome!

I understand life happens, so if you can't go through with the swap, please let me know.

If you have a rating below 4.95 and have been the victim of unfair rating, please contact me. I'll review these requests on a case by case basis.

No flaking, please. :)

Looking forward to this! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me!

I'm allowing a lot of time before this one starts since there are some other Dotee swaps in progress. I want everyone to be able to have time to work on their Dotee and not be rushed. :)

Also, check out the other Dotee swaps out there. There are a lot of great ones with wonderful coordinators!

Also, due to shipping costs, I have to keep this one Regional ( US and Puerto Rico )Hopefully I can do an International one soon!

Also, I just wanted to give credit to ladylouie and bennysmumma; I got the idea for doing a Dotee swap from them. :D

had no idea what a dotee was&just did a search~love the butterfly wing ones&moon-faced sleeping babies...very neat!

i just re read the description and wondered if making a bathing suit wearing dotee is meeting the needs in this swap.... I started one and then re read it and you talk about creatures and legends... I want to make sure I am not missing the point. I don't mind starting another one if that is needed. Just let me know Please. Thanks.

User6456 - it does say above "a person dressed for the beach"...I think a dotee dressed in a swimsuit would work. :)

Hey we are in the top ten!

How about a mermaid?

I was thinking about a dotee in a swimsuit.... lots of ideas. Can't wait to finish the few I have started and start on this one.

I like the shaped ones because I don't really care for the square- shaped ones. I guess I like more realistic things :D

Shannoncollar 05/25/2012 #

Penny, I'm not a fan of the rectangle ones either. I usually make mine shaped weird, and I seem to go for "spikes" on their head and an hour glass type figure. I made one for my sister that was straight on one side and curvy on the other... it turned out cute.

SHOOT - just reread the swap.....DUH. I am in Canada.....maybe next one. SO GLAD I caught it before partners assigned!

PaperclipHashbrown 05/27/2012 #

Hi guys! Sorry I haven't assigned partners yet; I'm at my Mom's and have a very spotty connection. I thought the request had gone through. I added some more time for everyone!

GrammaSherry: No worries! I'll do another Sea and Beach Dotee that includes Canada. Look for it to open in July! :D
