Doll swap

An enchanted party where holiday dolls are swapped by all!

SO HERE ARE THE RULES
(PLEAAAASE Read carefully before contacting me if you are interested in this swap).

1.
DEADLINE to JOIN THE SWAP: October 15th.
YOU SHOULD HAVE THE DOLL IN THE MAIL TO YOUR PARTNER: December 5th

2.
The SWAP GOAL: Create a doll of ANY HOLIDAY of your choosing, to be swapped. What do I mean by this? Witches, cute snowmen, frightful snowmen, The Queen of Hearts (Valentine's Day), Monsters in the Closet, Santas, Angels, Happy Easter Bunnies, Vampire Bunnies...your imagination is the limit but the dolls MUST REFLECT A HOLIDAY THEME...

3. Swaps are open to doll artists and high end crafters.
If you are not sure if I am familiar with your work-- PLEASE SEND AN EXAMPLE OF your work in your initial email so I can better match you with a partner.

4. All styles of doll making are allowed. If you create prims, great. If you are a dark artist, wonderful. We accept fairy, folk, clay, cloth and all doll styles in between. *WARNING* I've noticed it is hard to place straight-out GORE type dolls, so this may be the only caveat for those of you joining the swap.

5.
Open to USA and overseas friends.

6. Please carry the badge (above) on your blog, etc, if you'd like, so as to invite more wonderful artists. More artists means a great, variable, fun swap.


If you join us with the idea that you will make a wonderful/creative piece to be given away in the spirit of fun, I find that swapping will be rewarding. Please keep this in mind when joining a swap.

Having said that, I will do my best to pair everyone up with a fun and creative partner!


your name, business name (if you have one, so I can put you on our blog list of members), what style of doll you prefer (prim/fairy/goth/etc), and possible colors you prefer in your doll.
If you are interested in this swap, please email

Featured...



about:

A lot of that has changed since I began over a year ago as a wedding jewelry designer,
but I have been gifted with Grandmother’s old jewelry and I up-cycle previously loved jewelry. Vintage items just seem to come to me when someone cleans out their jewelry
I am the happy recipient.
Of course I make new items as well but I do love taking something old and giving it a new life.

Linda featured my Etsy shop on her blog here:

Today we talk to a new Etsy shop curator; Jasmoon from London.
Sharon from Plumrose Lane suggested Jasmoon as a possible candidate for a the Tuessday Feature.
I am so glad that she did.
I love the whimsy and dimension of her work.
I feel as if I have stepped into a fairy tale.
I can’t wait to see more from this very talented woman.

I wanted to say a big thank you to Linda & to

Sharon from Plumbrose Lane for forwarding my details for a Tue feature post...
