Description:

I am hoping that this one sounds fun to you all. The object of this one is to make a clothespin doll using a wooden clothespin (the kind without the spring) decorate it just like you would dress a doll,use hair,fabric,ribbon,paint,etc. Then take a small 32 ct matchbox and decorate that like a suitcase/trunk and pack it with whatever your little dolly may take on a trip with her whether it be to the beach,the mountain cabin, or to grandmas house! (pieces of fabrics etc can be substituted as clothing, I wouldn't expect anyone to make and pack actual doll clothes for a clothespin doll lol)you can use stickers,embelleshments,use your imagination! Be creative and have fun!! This is international and you must have a rating of at least 4.8 to participate.

Cute! I've been inspired by painted peg dolls for about a year, but haven't done many. I can't wait to start making my little globe trotter!

Looks like I am the unlucky one in this swap. My partner I suppose has chosen not to send to me, since she has been not sending her other swaps. I had alot of fun making this one and was looking forward to getting my doll :( But will not give up yet.
