More About the Author
Product Description
Review
"For those who want to be creative but havre varying degrees of artistic ability..." -- Doll Magazine, July 2001.
Product Description
Make beautiful and unique dolls without buying expensive equipment and materials. Papier mache and paper clay are inexpensive, versatile, and air dry in just a few days. Sculpting is easy - just roll out the clay and apply it to an armature, let it dry, and paint. Then complete with hand-made hair and a costume. When finished, your one-of-a-kind figure will compare to art dolls that sell for GBP100 or more. Every step of the process is explained and illustrated in full detail. Learn how to make hair, bodies, armatures, costumes, and how to sculpt heads and faces, arms and hands, and legs and feet from papier mache and paper clay.

Great for the beginner, enough technical, great instructions,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dollmaking with Papier Mache and Paper Clay: Complete Instructions and Patterns for Making More Than 20 Figures (Paperback)
I am new to doll-making but not paper mache. I found I was moving to dolls and came across this book. It's very good technically and the photos are excellent. The methods are great and well thought out and explained. I have just begun playing with the paper clay product and this gives it a good testimonial. Good job! Also, Ms. Gottilly's dolls are fabulous!

Okay for Paper MacHe,
By Mona Gracen - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dollmaking with Papier Mache and Paper Clay: Complete Instructions and Patterns for Making More Than 20 Figures (Paperback)
I'm not really interested in Paper MacHe but I've been a dollmaker for quite some time and am very interested in learning more about Paperclay. There is another book that is supposedly the best for Paperclay - "Sculpting Doll in Paperclay" by Robert McKinley but it's sold out and difficult to find - so I opted for this one. I found this book to be fairly similar in techinique to many other dollmaking books in other media. There wasn't all that much that made it stand apart. I guess if you're very interested in Paper MacHe, then this is the book for you. If you're wanting to learn more about Paperclay techniques, skip this book and look for the one by McKinley instead.
