Description:

ATC Art dolls are one of the coolest new trends in the altered arts world. These dolls can be made on the card, or with movable parts as long as they fold up into ATC size. They can be hand-drawn, cut-out, stamped, collaged etc, etc... Other than that, I leave the interpretation up to you.

If you are unsure what an ATC Art Doll looks like, contact me and I will give you a link to some pics. The swap graphic is of an ATC Art Doll that I have made - the head is a NZ 'Tiki' stamp, and the body is hand-drawn and cut-out.

This is a 3 for 3 swap - you send 3 completely different ATC Art Dolls to 1 partner & receive 3 completely different ones in return.

ATC cards should be 3.5"x2.5". If you include embellishments on your ATC Art Doll, please make sure it isn't too bulky.

Sign up by November 20th & mail out no later than November 30th. This is an International Swap and beginners are welcome. Please send only the kind of Art Dolls you'd like to receive in return.

Have fun & happy swapping!

I want to join, as right now my newest addiction is making art dolls! I am just completing an altered board book with my dolls in it. They are of all sizes, so some have to be folded up to fit in the book, but's still kinda cool, to be able to "unfold" the doll and see her beauty! I'll scan one of my dolls, actually she is and ATC doll made of playing cards so you can see her. i'd also like to see the link, to get more ideas1 my email is kindertcher@aol.com Thanks, susi

Susi 11/11/2006 #

Ahhh i can't upload a picture of my lil queen, sorry. I thought I could, just to give an idea to the rest of you. =+(

pootle 11/23/2006 #

three little art dolls dancing their way across the sea to America - I hope they are happy in their new home!

artantics 11/26/2006 #

Help! For some reason I can't get in to find my partner's details. I click and absolutely nothing happens! Does the coordinator have this info?

ScrapTheSurface 11/27/2006 #

WOW that was a complex task trying to create ATC dolls. I have never done them before. If they are not up to standard or you are disappointed with them please let me know and I will try and create again. I sent them on Sunday 26 Nov so hopefully you should be receiving them soon. Kindest regards, Helen.

artantics 11/27/2006 #

I found my partner's info when I went to close. It had opened behind the window instead of on top!! Items posted yesterday.

1hand1heart (Susi):

Thank you for the wonderful dolls. They each have a personality and are overbriming with charm and creativity. When I get back into town I will try to post them for all to see. Thanks again!

Ashley

user3645 11/30/2006 #

I agree with Helen it was difficult to make these atc art dolls but it was fun. I had a hard time parting with 1 of mine too but hopefully Brendalea will enjoy it as much as I do. My dolls have a very strange offbeat sense about them so I hope you enjoy my style. If not I will create something else for you.

Brendalea- Dolls sent on the 29th. Look for the envelope with the purple writing. I know it is your favorite color.

user4472 12/ 1/2006 #

Manifest 12/ 6/2006 #

Prpldy 12/ 6/2006 #

to: Barb, wagbag Sorry that I was late getting your Art Dolls in the mail. They went out two days ago. Been very sick for over 3 weeks now, and only now getting my voice back...finally. Hope you will like them.

to: Lotus Collector, Loved the ones I received a few days ago. They were awesome! I love them! Which one was hard for you to part with?

mcall 12/10/2006 #

I haven't received anything yet...:(

Alphenquilts 12/10/2006 #

I also haven't received anything yet..... :(

lgj302 12/12/2006 #

I haven't received yet either.

Ruthy 12/13/2006 #

I haven't received anything yet... but I'm optimistic! : )

Erna 12/15/2006 #

I'm quite jealous when I read how pleased the people are who've received their dollies. Ah well! Patience is a virtue one acquires by exercising it...

I also wish I knew whether mine arrived at their new home. I always worry until I know that my sawp item got there safely - as do you all, I bet! So please don't forget to thank & rate your partner!

AND - please, please, please post pics! That way we all inspire each other!

Erna 12/15/2006 #

Shirley, your dolls are adorable! Thanks for uploading the pic, Carolyn!

mariannealice 12/29/2006 #

sadly nothing yet - my swap partner is still marked as "not sent" and has a rather erratic rating so I am not too hoepful.....perhaps in the next swap (if I am game enough to join as this is my 3rd ATC swap with a no show) people with a history of no sends could be barred????Please???its just becoming way too disappointing to put in the hard work and then get nothing back....

Ruthy 12/29/2006 #

Mariannealice, I will be very happy to make art dolls for you. My email is ruthshek@gmail.com. Please send me your name and address and in a few days the dolls will be on their way.

lgj302 01/ 5/2007 #

Mariannealice - I know what you mean...I never recived mine either. I was also in a chopstick swap (I wanted them for a book binding technique I do) and never received from EITHER partner! One of them was the person that started the swap!!
