Customer Reviews
I thought the idea of using lots of photographs of techniques was a good one - but if you really want to learn how to make a good quality doll - particularly cloth, but also clay - buy one of the first two Susanna Oroyan books. They are still the definitive "how-to" books of doll making, and include the whole spectrum of dolls from simple to silly to artsy to rag. Elinor Peace Bailey's DVD is also a good investment if you want to focus on cloth dolls - although it does have a bias towards her own style, it's easy enough to translate to your own style using the basic info. Patti Medaris-Culea's books are also very good - but she makes a certain type of doll and her books are aimed towards that type of cloth doll specifically, with not much variety. The same is true of Barbara Willis' book, her dolls are very "pretty," but she has some great ideas for dressing the dolls. Li Hertzl's book is my favorite for fun and funky dolls, lots of good ideas for going off the beaten path. There are a lot of choices out there, and more due to come out in the next couple of months, so be sure this is what you want before making the purchase unless you are okay with buying all of them.
