This is a fantastic book. It provides lots of tips for doll-making that aren't included in a lot of the other books. It also concentrates on contemporary dolls, instead of the more traditional style. It is emphasized as an ART, not a craft, as many people think!

This is a wonderful book! If you are looking for creative inspiration, or just want to see what's happening in the world of "doll as art," this book is it!
If you don't have an Idea of how to begin making dolls this is the book that will take you from the beginning to the end. You want to get creative and make abstract projects this is it. If you already know the process of making dolls this book will only enhance the way to make them. The book has explanations on how to create a tie-dye fabric for dolls and also painted fabric.
The dolls are not all women or even all people, some are characters and are magical. The clothes are colourful, the variety of dolls is large and everything is unusual and fun. There are lots of pictures for inspiration and patterns to do the work. I think once you get into the process you will enjoy the book as much as I have.
