Product Description
Product Description
This little book with its many colour photographs and simple diagrams describes how to make seventeen different kinds of doll : for instance a cuddly doll for toddlers, a large baby doll, finger puppets, gnomes, dolls for a doll's house, and many others. There are clear instructions on how to form the head, create different hair-styles, indicate the features of the face, and make the body of the doll.
About the Author
Sunnhild Reinckens lives in Hanover, West Germany. There and in many other places she holds courses for children, mothers, fathers and grandparents. She believes it is better that people make a simple doll, however modest an affair, than to buy one in the shop for their children.

There are 17 different kinds of dolls covered in this book, from the basic little bag doll with a head, up to jointed dolls and also a more traditional "Waldorf" style of doll with soft limbs stuffed with wool and a shaped face with painted eyes and sewn on hair. It's an excellent book, and I would have given it 5 stars, but the section on hair styles is short with only a few pictures and illustrations. If you already have doll-making experience, as I have, the hard part is the hairstyle and I think this subject is better covered in the book Kinder Dolls. In that book, many different hair styles are covered in detail, with illustrations for the steps of each one. A good covering of hair, styled appropriately, really make the dolls come "alive".
Topics covered:
Making the doll's head, Different hair styles, Painting the face, Cuddly doll, A doll for very little children, Printed cotton or corduroy baby-doll, Knitted doll: Pippi Longstocking, Baby-dolls, Dolls for dressing and undressing, Tiny baby-doll, Finger puppets, A little table-theatre, Punch-in-the-cone and stick puppets, The gnome, Snow-White and the seven dwarves, Hansel and Gretel, Grandma and Granddad, The dolls' house and its inhabitants, The hobby-horse, Mending dolls

this is a book that just skims the topic of making Waldorf dolls, to be honest I have seen better tutorials on the internet, with detailed photographs, it has some nice photos of dolls you could make though, but the patterns are a bit laughable, tiny diagrams of how a doll dress would look like. Bit dissapointed to be honest
