5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST have for doll makers!, 26 Jan 1999
By A Customer
This book is an excellent reference for doll crafters from novice to advanced! Unlike many doll sculpting books that are excellent at showing how to make a specific doll from start to finish. This book concentrates on how to think creatively and apply the sculpting techniques shown(which are beautifully presented) to a piece that will be exclusively yours. I have been sculpting dolls for several years now and found this book informative, well written, and full of good advice for reawakening my creative mind!

5.0 out of 5 stars You can create "fantastic figures"....Easily!, 26 April 1999
By A Customer
If you have ever entertained the thought of sculpting dolls using the new polymer and paper clays, this is the book for you! Ms. Oroyan will lead you through virtually every step of dollmaking, from your original ideas through the completion of your own, unique "work of art." She shares a wealth of information gained through years of experience and offers tips, techniques and proven methods of working in this newly discovered medium. You will be guided with clear and concise detailed instruction, illustrations and explore different alternatives to incorporate in your own creations. You will be amazed after seeing beautiful color photographs of other artists work and realize that each and every creation has its own distinct charm and personality. Through this book you will gain the skills and techniques to be able to confidently and competently create your own "fantastic figures."

5.0 out of 5 stars The definitive book for polymer clay doll/character artists., 23 Aug 1998
By A Customer
This book is packed with information! It leads you through all the steps you need to create a doll or character in polymer clay. From your very first idea to the complete costuming...the information is there. Ever wondered how to make shoes for your figures? It's in this book. There are some wonderful pictures of creations made by a variety of artists as well. I highly recommend this book.
