Found Objects Art Doll Challenge

In this swap, we will create one art doll using found objects. The doll may be human-ish (any gender(s)), animal-ish, or some creature of fantasy - creator's choice. You may consider your partner's profile, but it is not required and should not inhibit creativity.

The Challenge:

1. The doll must be three-dimensional and not flat.

2. The doll must be at least six inches in length or width.

3. DO NOT USE: paint, markers or other writing instruments, paper or paper products, cardboard, tape or stickers in creating the doll.

4. You must use at least ten DIFFERENT objects to create the doll. For example, if you use buttons in creating the doll, all of the buttons you use count as one object - "buttons."

5. Attach a tag to your finished doll, naming your artwork and listing the objects you used to create your mixed media masterpiece. Send your partner a doll that you would be happy to receive. Rate as you would like to be rated.

The Fine Print: To join this swap, you must have a 5.0 rating and have at least ten rated package swaps.
