Dolls, Dolls & More Dolls

Actually, this book is great for making dolls for kids to play with. Absolutely Great! It's also great for creating clothes for those dolls, as well as inspiration for your own doll clothing creations. I believe I will use this book extensively for making dolls for the children in my extended family. The patterns are easy, fun and quick to make. You can make them as easy as you like, or as complicated as you like, because they give all the details on how to create the doll already partially dressed. You'll have to purchase it to see how, its worth it, believe me. I'm actually an amature doll maker, and it will be a challenge to make them in their most advanced techniques. But, again, its worth it. I'm glad I bought the book, and the price made it all the better. A great bang for the buck!!!

a great book to spark the imagination!

This book includes a very simple doll pattern that can be embellished in countless ways. The imaginative choices of the authors are fascinating to see and make you want to start creating immediately! Wonderful book for a beginning dollmaker or the experienced looking for new ideas.

Hundreds of color photos of beautiful and creative dolls!

I have been using this book as a source of craft inspiration for many years. The range of fabulous color photos of so many varied doll creations is better than any other I have yet to see.
