The mention of a Dotee Doll in Jean's "Let the Good Times Roll" topic peaked my interest and initiated a Google search for the little creatures. Dotee Dolls are the creation of Dorothy Christian (Dot), and are named after her. Dotees are small handmade dolls that usually measure between 3 to 5 inches tall and have a loop on the top of the head for hanging and a tail hanging from the bottom of the doll. The tail is usually made of beads. These dolls are embellished with beads, embroidery floss, buttons or anything else the artist chooses to use with a face that is either embroidered, painted or drawn. You can find hundreds of examples on the internet.

I believe the last Mary Janes Farmgirl Dotee Doll swap was by Ruby V way back in 2013. So let's give it another whirl.

Here's the scoop:
Sign ups start now until February 20th. Partners Posted on the February 21st. Use your imagination and artistic skills to create a doll that will just make you happy. Enjoy !!


I can't wait to see how all you creative ladies have let your imaginations run with this. Be sure to post pictures. Everyone wants to see their own dotee doll displayed. Thank you for coming out to play.

Please sign me up, too. I missed all the fun swaps of the holidays and need to get back into it again. This sounds like a lot of fun. On a separate note, I just picked up a book from the 70s on how to make soft dolls and toys. Love it! It's filled with photos, patterns and instructions.

Ida - I was going back and forth between a voodoo doll and a Dotee doll for that Swap. I just love making the VooDoo Dolls that are cute and so I had to do that ... Now I can do this too!
Please Sign me up!!!
What Fun - I looked them up and saw some beautiful examples on PINTREST.

NO! NO! I simply cannot do "another" swap right now. But, I'll just go peek at what Google has to say about these little creatures. Oh, my stars!! . . . what ever you do, DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT Google Dotee Dolls. I'm warning you, if you do, you'll be a goner like me . . . SIGN ME UP!! Big hugs Ida Jane for hosting this very fun Dotee Doll swap.

I loved making the Dottee Dolls but My husband has to have two Heart surgeries, my best friend is going in for surgery and possibly my dog.
I can barely keep up with it all! So, I will pass this time! But I too will be back on to check out everyone's Doll during the swapping part.
I made myself two of the dolls to keep...one is me in my younger years with my red hair and one once I turned gray. They are hanging in my bedroom still.

Love, Hugs, and Joy,
Peggy

PEGGY...so understand . My husband just had double bi-pass surgery earlier in January and is now in a NH/Rehab facility, It was pretty hard on him and has finally bought into staying and finishing his rehab. I’ll be praying for you girl.

Peggy, not yet, I am just now getting the clearances, the cardiology one was good I guess I never heard anything different.
I went to the dentist and have to have work done there first but this is a new dentist and they are sending me to another one in Vallejo to have the work done and then this one will finish and then I can have surgery on my knee. Or I should say the first surgery on the knee. Its getting closer.
Love you too Peggy! God Bless!

Thank you!
Darlene
