5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent is understatement.,
By stinna (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Anatomy of a Doll: The Fabric Sculptor's Handbook (Paperback)
This book is worth much more. I absolutely desagree with those who says the author promotes her dolls only (btw,they are stunning). The book covers all stages of doll making and the evolution of the doll industry in general. Images of the dolls are carefully selected and represent dozens of doll artists, each of them unique in style. I personally, find most helpful info on joints, face painting, soft sculpture. And of course, just seeing works of all great doll artists is a great inspiration.

Highly Disappointing,
By M.A. Cahill "AWriterWithGuts" (Kailua, Hawaii) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Anatomy of a Doll: The Fabric Sculptor's Handbook (Paperback)
I anxiously waited to buy this book when I first heard is was soon to be publisher. (I have been a fabric doll and artist designer for many years and sell in art galleries, shops and fairs). It was RAVED about by the group of other doll artists I corresponded with and I was very familar with the authors work and impressed with it. But this book offered me NOTHING but pictures of her dolls. Too advanced and vague for a novice and boreing, lacking new or creative techniques for the skilled doll maker, it felt like a "brag book" of her recent dolls, which in my opinion were not at all as creative or interesting, almost scary and unattractive, as he old stuff was. I returned the book and did not consider the second one she did. Too bad, as she is a very, very excellent doll artist but we all change styles,etc. and who knows why these particular dolls were included in her book. I found it more of an "art" book than a book that offered ideas, techniques and down to earth "this is how I did it" information. I am glad that many other people did find it helpful but am amazed they did.

This review is from: Anatomy of a Doll: The Fabric Sculptor's Handbook (Paperback)
This book is one no dollmaker should be without, whether you make dolls for your own pleasure, as gifts, or as a professional. The inspiration from the photos alone is amazing, but the book is also filled with wisdom on dollmaking that comes from one of the most talented dollmakers in the country.
