Description:

For this swap you will create 1 stunning Day of the Dead themed doll for 1 partner.

The doll can be made from scratch or you can alter an existing doll to make it ''Day of the Dead'' style.

The doll must be 3D. No flat dolls, no paper dolls, no dotee dolls are allowed.

You can use any medium you like. For example, polymer clay, fabric, mixed media etc. If you prefer you can alter a Barbie or porcelain doll from the thrift store.

Minimum doll size is 6 inches tall. I'd say somewhere between 6 inches to 12 inches in height would be a good size.

Please spend time and effort creating a doll that your partner will be thrilled to receive and love to display. Make it special. Add lace, small silk flowers, rhinestones, glitter, vintage jewellery parts, charms, beads, sparkly trim, ribbon etc. Try and incorporate your partners favourite colours if possible too.

There are lots of cool examples of Day of the Dead dolls on the internet. Google ''Day of the Dead dolls'', ''Dia de los Muertos dolls'', ''La Catrina dolls'' and check out flickr and etsy.com for some great handmade inspiration.

SWAP REQUIREMENTS: You must be rated for at least 20 type 3 swaps with a 4.9 rating or above. No unexplained no sends ever. Sorry no newbies allowed.

I will check profiles thoroughly before assigning partners to ensure a swapping experience that is as safe as possible for all involved.

No one likes to be flaked on so please respect others and do not do so.

Any questions please feel free to ask : )

I love this I've really been wanting to try my hand at some sort of weird goth doll but haven't really had the push to do it yet, so I think this would be awesome! I've always found it weird that I'm scared of clowns, but not painted skulls lol. Human faces painted with bright colours? NO! Dead people skulls painted with bright colours? YES!
