Description:

This is a group swap for members of ''Viva la Frida''. Therefore you need to be a member of this specific group to join. The aim of this swap is to create a gorgeous Frida Kahlo art doll. Size wise the doll can be anywhere between 6 inches to 12 inches tall and made from whatever media you enjoy working with eg fabric, heavy cardstock, papier mache, clay, mixed media, altered Barbie etc. Just make sure she's fabulous, funky, well made and securely packaged for her journey. As it's a group swap I'm assuming everyone has high standards when it comes to swapping, but anyone dodgy who sneaks in will be dropped before the swap starts so don't worry you should be safe : ) Participants should have at least 15 snail mailed swaps at 4.9 or above and no recent no sends. Feel free to check out flickr and do a general web search ''Frida Kahlo doll'' for inspiration. The swap image is of an amazing hand-crafted Frida Kahlo art doll created by Joyce Stahl.

Oh this looks great, but there is no way I can add this to my schedule with such a short lead time :>(

I've just extended the send by date to 6th July, to give you an extra week, in case that helps.

To those of you I sent a message informing you of this swap I hope you didn't mind. It turns out that I caused offence to one member in doing so as she regarded it as spam. I've never hosted a group swap before, only a few private ones, so I thought it only polite (and actually doing my duty to the group) to let those in the group who had been online and swapping recently to know about it. I often miss out on swaps I would love to join because I don't have time to check through all the relevant swaps so I thought I was doing the right thing. It honestly didn't occur to me that such a message could be classed as spam, so to anyone annoyed that they received a message about this swap I apologize in advance. I spent over 2 hours checking through and then messaging those of you I thought would be interested so please understand that I did it with the best of intentions. I couldn't face another two hours of messaging each of you to apologize so I hope anyone that is offended by the fact that I contacted them regarding this swap reads this and can understand why. Take care, Rachel

Thank you for giving out heads ups. I am sorry I will have to pass. I wish there had been a little more time on the swap. I would have loved this one

thans tiaragoth for contacting me. I would love to do this but I thnk I don't have time right now to make something wonderful. As on my profile I have alot of swaps to complete so I don't want to overcommit. I appreciate the heads up though!

I would love to do this swap if you host a second one, I just don't have the time to fit it in with other things this month :(

I'll echo exactly what bean said above--I'd love to get in on another one of these!
