Just received this book today and I can't put it down! The book is the most complete how-to book I have ever seen. Eloise has put the book together from beginner to advanced with a lot of thought for the inexperienced doll-maker. Every aspect of doll-making is completely covered and I would highly recommend this book to anyone !

I'm new to doll making. I am enjoying this book. I also recommend a doll book for fun reading, Dolls Aren't Just for Kids.

I have the author's other book on dolls,which is also excellent. What the author shows is that using one simple to construct cloth doll body you can make literally thousands of different style dolls, by simply sewing/adding joints, lengthing patterns, changing outfit, hair, etc...
beautiful photos of dolls for play or show; simple face designs take headache out of creating the doll.

Also shows how to "deconstruct" old clothes to make new clothes for the dolls-very imaginative. This book also goes into using clay-but with a beginner in mind. I definitely recommend!

This is an acceptable book, but nothing special, really. Some of the small dolls are rather cute, but the techniques, particularly those involving clay are very basic, and not explored particularly well. It's nice as far as it goes, but not anything for those who have made dolls before or have much experience.

this book is real good . there is some real good patterns in this book. if you like dolls . this is a real great book on making dolls
