September team challenge altered/found object

Our team challenge for September is to make a doll featuring an altered/found object. In other words, find something unusual that wouldn't necessarily be typical doll making material and use it for this doll. When you post your doll, be sure to tell us what your object was! Megan Downing, suggested this theme and had some cool suggestions "use at least 1 cool found object/trinket in the creation of your doll. example: dice, dominoes, playing cards, tic tac boxes, etc".

If you wish to join the challenge, just post a link here to your etsy listing showing your doll. If your doll is not currently for sale on Etsy, you can post it to our Facebook page here www.facebook.com/EtsyDollmakersTeam - be sure to mark it "team challenge" if you post it on facebook. Please post entries by the last day of this month.

At the beginning of next month, all entries that are listied on Etsy will be included in our team treasury, and all dolls entered will be shown on our facebook page.

You may post up to 4 dolls , however I may choose only 1-3 from each artist to include in our treasury depending on how many entries we receive.

Please be sure that your items meet the challenge theme. Any other dolls may be listed in our New Listings thread www.etsy.com/teams/8062/dollmakers/discuss/9376132/

You may post new dolls, dolls you already had made, or doll clothing items that fit into our theme.

Thanks to Megan Downing for the idea for this month's theme.

You can recommend a theme for a future challenge in the following thread

Edwina sports a blue jay feather in her jaunty hat. Her purse is a well used tea ball which holds her collection of foreign coins.

Oogie and Boogie wear hats made from the same sparkly container. Oogie (with the pink lips) wears a hat that is made from the lid and Boogie (with the blue lips) wears a hat made from the bottom of the container.

Dotz sits inside a decorative watering can that originally contained hand lotion and soap for gardeners. She is made from two used gardening gloves. Her collar is an old watch strap.
