Angel Dotee

Angel Dotee, originally uploaded by laurienuske.

Help! I'm addicted! It all started with Artist Trading Cards, on Swap-Bot. While there, I discovered these little dotee dolls that were being traded, and decided to try one. Well, I'm out of control!! I have made several, have sent them to places all over the world, this one to England, have received them from all over the world, and have signed up for 20 more swaps (only because there is a 20 swap limit at a time..) with themes ranging from Angels to bugs! So what's a dotee? They were created by a woman named, what else, Dot. They are to be 4-6" in height, and must have a hanger and a "tail". You can look at my Flickr pictures for more of ones I've made, and received. But getting me out of my craft room? Good luck! These little gems have me held hostage!! I even started my own dotee group, Dote on Dotee's! Next I think it will have to be Dotee's Anonymous!

Reminds me of some angels my husband's aunt has made...some with pinecone bodies, some with clothespin bodies, some with stuffed fabric bodies, etc. scraps of fabrics, laces, trims, ribbons, etc. Most are angels, some are Scottish or Colonial America folks. I have several on my Christmas tree.; May 31, 2009 at 7:38 PM
