Dear Georgettes,

This swap is the 2nd stage of our continued adventure in creating our 5 inch Jane Austen Peg Doll. This time we are to paint our lovely.

Please Note - We shall be keeping our dolls at home, We shall PHOTOGRAPH our progress, and send photographs in AN EMAIL SWAP - DO NOT send your doll. The Type 3 is for the efforts of work we shall put into making this creation, which is fiddly.

You will have ONE partner for this swap, sending them a photograph or a few photos of your PAINTED ONLY Stage 2 undressed peg doll. Write to your partner of your doll happenings, accompanying the email, of how it is evolving for you, are you enjoying it?

For those wishing to catch up.... Have you ever wanted to make your own character in a little doll of your own? We have a couple of ways to help you achieve this and have created a short series of swaps, for us to express our characters or their neighbours through our own hands.

This doll is a Jane Austen style PEG DOLL which will take 3 videos to complete. Firstly we formed our head & arms in paperclay over wire, so if you still wish to try your hand, the links below lead you to where to purchase pegs, thus you may catch up following that video. We are finding this doll too irresistible for us not to have a go and try for our own satisfaction.
