Synopsis

Book by Piper, Eloise, Dilligan, Mary

Review

A good basic introduction to the fundamentals of dollmaking, Creating & Crafting Dolls explains how to sew dolls from your own fabrics or make them from purchased blank bodies. Beginners and novices will learn how to utilize two easy patterns to construct simple but charming doll bodies, and how to adorn them with a variety of hairstyles, facial features, clothing, and accessories. (A number of patterns are included for the clothing and accessories.) Though a bit plain-looking--mostly text augmented with line drawings--the procedures are clearly explained and the book contains 14 full-color spreads showing photographs of many different versions of the basic dolls. Unlike other dollmaking books aimed at the art-doll audience, the results of the techniques covered in this book are dolls that can actually be played with by children.
