Day of the Dead Doll

This is a private swap between Destiney1 and tiaragoth.

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.
