Description:

This is a Dotee challenge swap – Cut from the same cloth

Here is how it works:

I will purchase a single cut of fabric which I will cut up into 4x5� pieces.

I’ll send you two(2) pieces of the fabric. I will not send any other embellishments since I’ll be sending in a note card to reduce postage.

When you receive your fabric you will made a dotee for your partner. If you use something from your own stash for the back you can use the second piece that I send to make a sister for yourself.

There is no theme except to use the fabric I send and the usual include a face, hanger and tail. Size and shape are up to the artist.

You will be making 1 doll for 1 partner.

I am making this international.

If you don’t know much about Dotee Dolls I’ve included some links that should help.

To see some photos of finished Dotees check out these flickr photos

Due to the steps in this swap and the fact that it would be complex to angel I am using a stricter set of requirements for which I will not make exceptions. You must be an established swapper and fit the following requirements:

10 completed – rated swaps (not including email swaps)

At least 1 rated dotee swap

No no-sends in the last 4 months (if it’s an unfair rating that you haven’t been able to resolve message me with details)

If you have questions or concerns please message or email.

Happy swapping!!!

What a fun idea!

Scuslidge 03/ 9/2008 #

Hopefully the Dotee I sent out will be rated before the sign up deadline! This sounds like fun!

andysbabycakes 03/ 9/2008 #

what a FANTASTIC idea!!

magicjessnrach 03/ 9/2008 #

This is such a great idea!!!

Hag53 03/10/2008 #

I purchased the fabric today! Just walked around and around and around until something reached out and grabbed me! Your addresses show up to me as soon as you sign up so I'll start addressing envelopes right away!

jannikinz 03/10/2008 #

I'm still very new at making Dotee dolls, but with each one I make, I am enjoying seeing the improvement. I'm in Australia.

jannikinz 03/10/2008 #

Are we permitted to ask what colour the fabric may be? Then we could also prepare with getting our bits 'n pieces in order. Thankyou.

Debzhouse 03/11/2008 #

this will be interesting to see all the different dotees in the same fabic I can't wait

flowerlily64 03/14/2008 #

YAY!...what a great idea for a dotee swap...who could resist..I just HAD to sign up! I can't wait to see all the variations either.

myrrhmaid 03/16/2008 #

I'm bit by the dotee dog and am rabid for making dotees now! What a neat idea Betsy! I hope everyone who can will take pics to post in the gallery. I can hardly wait to get started!

Hag53 03/18/2008 #

I've been collecting up the addresses and pasting them into a .doc! I can't wait either! I do hope most will have photos on flickr. I think we can also post photos in the swap? I'm so glad to see so many excited about this.

I'm looking for a couple of you who would be willing to angel this swap should someone take ill or be unable to fullfill their commitment. If I know who you are ahead of time I can send the extra fabric that you'll need. I'll try to check here, but you could pm me too. I'll take the first 3 I hear back from! Thank you so much!

I up-loaded my picture in the gallery section of this swap. I didn't do it right I guess, sorry she is so big. But she is cute. I can't wait to see what everyone elses looks like. And I will learn how to load pictures better.

fleasha 04/ 1/2008 #

@jstubbs wow. I love the way you did her face. I wish I could draw.

btw, I got my fabric today. :)

lisajhoney 04/ 1/2008 #

Received the beautiful fabric and have got some ideas allready, thank you Betsy:)

alleycat 04/ 2/2008 #

I have my dotee ready to go, but when I click on"see your Partner" nothing happens...anyone else having this difficulty, anyone know what I might be doing wrong? I've never had this problem before.

myrrhmaid 04/ 3/2008 #

ALLEYCAT-Make sure your pop up blocker is off. Clicking see your partners opens a new window and a pop up blocker can interfere. HTH!

myrrhmaid 04/ 4/2008 #

my gal is on her way to new zealand! ENJOY!

HeideC 04/ 5/2008 #

Mine is finished and will be on the way to Mosaic on Monday. A picture is on flickr

jannikinz 04/13/2008 #

I am back, have just opened the package with the fabulous fabric. This will be worked on in the next couple of days and will be in the mail be the end of the week.

dreamerkins 04/14/2008 #

my first one is done, and beautiful! but i think i cut it too small, so i may make a different one yet... sigh.

jannikinz 04/17/2008 #

Just posted my dotee to her new home. I'm a bit nervois about this, hope my partner is not disappointed and likes her.

jannikinz 04/17/2008 #

sorry about the typo above...it should read nervous and not nervois..oopsie.

ladyb 04/21/2008 #

I sent mine off on the 8th and it was received on the 11th (I sent it with DC) but my partner hasn't rated me yet. I also messaged her asking if she liked her and no response.

I guess maybe she didn't like her. :(

myrrhmaid 04/22/2008 #

Hi Diane, I received her today! She was sent the 16th according to the postal meter date and there was no delivery confirmation. She did get put into the neighbors post box, but fortunately she came by and dropped her off! (that was no doing on your part- you had the addy right, it was a postal mistake). ANYWAYS..she turned out real cute! THANK YOU! Laura p.s. I never received a pm from you. Maybe you sent it to someone else by mistake?

myrrhmaid 04/22/2008 #

OOOPSIES! Nevermind! We weren't even partners! My mistake!

myrrhmaid 04/22/2008 #

You have similar usernames!

jannikinz 05/14/2008 #

Mine was received either on 29th april or 1st may,that was confirmed via a pm... I'm rather desponded that I haven't been rated yet. The recipient hasn't been on since the 4th may :(

jannikinz 05/14/2008 #
