Creative Cloth Doll Making

The face is the single most important feature of a doll.  It is a reflection of who she really is.  Because Patti was first a portrait painter she takes readers step-by-step through various approaches to creating the face. Colored pencils, water-colors, oil pastels and paint are some of the mediums used inside these pages.   

Patterns for two doll bodies, plus variations in heads are included.

Creative Cloth Doll Faces

Patti brings together a collection of doll patterns ranging from simple to more advanced. All the patterns have interchangeable parts, which is discussed in Chapter 5.  Patti’s goal in this book is to help the reader create a doll that is uniquely his/her own.

Techniques included are direct dyeing a doll body, creating beautiful faces, using materials such as Tyvek ™ to create unique clothing and accessories, simple beadwork and many more.
