Be a Doll in my new series

Want to be immortalized in art? Submit yourself to be a part of my stitched doll series -see the post below for more information about it.

I am creating a series of dolls that focus on the inherent beauty of all.

The purpose of the series is to subvert the typical concept of "beauty" by using a traditional feminine housewifery type of skill to create modern depictions of of everyone's beauty.

I'm looking for all types of women, hetero and homo ladies, womyn, lesbians, bois, butches, transmen, drag queens, queers, and femmes to be a part of my series. I want to celebrate the beauty I see in women everyday.

To submit yourself:

1. send a full length, or mostly full length picture of how you like to be perceived to artful.artsy.amy@gmail.com. You do not have to be nude in this photograph, but please do be dressed so that I can ballpark your body type: tall, short, medium, curvy, boyish etc. etc. Your clothing does not have to be tight for me to judge this. Your picture will be kept anonymous.

2. Write a brief paragraph stating how you want the world to see you; please fee free to include any information about how the world does perceive you if you feel this will help relate your story. These paragraphs may used as a part of the doll's description.

3. Submit an alias for your doll to be named.

You will be notified within one-two days if you are to be a part of the doll series. All accepted entrants for the doll series will be sent a free angry cupcake button from my etsy store. :) Your identity will remain totally anonymous.

Please note that you will not retain any legal rights to the paragraph you send me, or to the doll created from the information you send.

And, just to be fair. . .here I am:

Doll 1:  Amy
