MUST BUY BOOK,

This review is from: Making Miniature Dolls with Polymer Clay: How to Create and Dress Period Dolls in 1/12 Scale (Paperback)
I was very frustrated when I was looking to but miniature dolls because they are so expensive. I'm a do it yourself kind of person and this book really helped me through the entire process to make my own dolls. The book starts with a description of all kinds of polymer clay and the author makes her recommendations of clays suitable for miniatures. The book has patterns to make women, men, girls, boys and babies. There are different variations for the different periods (for example the position of the breast to fit better the different styles of dresses, the shoes, etc.) It also has variations to make the dolls look older. The diferents periods represented in this book are: Tudor, Regency, Victorian, and Edwardian. It comes complete with patterns, fabric guidance and full instructions on how to dress the dolls and how to make the wigs. A lot of photos of beautiful dolls in a doll house setting. Do not get discoreage if at the beginning you don't get good results, the author herself advises to practice until your skills improve. It really doesn't take much. Buy this book, you won't be sorry.

Just Fantastic!,
By ArtWay (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Making Miniature Dolls with Polymer Clay: How to Create and Dress Period Dolls in 1/12 Scale (Paperback)
Very clear directions and instructions with lots of pictures. This should be the first book that anyone buys, if they're wanting to make dollhouse dolls... simple enough for a beginner. Historical details.

By Micki Romary (mromary@enid.com) - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: MAKING MINIATURE DOLLS WITH POLYMER CLAY: HOW TO CREATE AND DRESS PERIOD DOLLS IN 1/12 SCALE. (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful book if you want to make your own 1/12th scale dolls. The directions are so easy and understandable. The templates provided for each size of doll makes it easy to get your dolls just the right size and shape. Clothing and wigging instructions are helpful and precise. I loved this book.

Excellent even for beginners,
By Catherine Hallberg "(Kate)" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: MAKING MINIATURE DOLLS WITH POLYMER CLAY: HOW TO CREATE AND DRESS PERIOD DOLLS IN 1/12 SCALE. (Hardcover)
I do a lot of different handwork, including very occasional polymer clay, but I bought this book because my then 5 yo daughter loved it. Everytime we went to the store that carried it, I browsed patterns and fabric, she lusted over this book. Finally, I just had to give in to her before someone else bought "her" book. :-)We haven't been disappointed. The illustrations are very clear, and very much to scale. I love having clothing patterns for the dolls available- they're worthwhile even if you never make one of the dolls. The clear directions make it almost easy to make a face that actually looks like a face. The supplies lists are very straightforward and doesn't include anything you can't easily pick up at your local craft supply stores. I highly recommend this book, even for children. A 6 yo is a little young to be able to carry out the project on her own, but working together with an adult is very possible. 17 of 17 people found the following review helpful:
