Book Description

November 2001
First and foremost a gallery-in-print, this book is an unprecedented exhibition of Ms Lichtenfels' work. Readers are invited to a personal tour with the artist through this exhibition, which features thirty-six of her most significant pieces in panorama, accompanied by her personal and technical notes on the creation of each of these sculptures. This astounding display is followed by Lichtenfel's photo essay, in which she demonstrates, step-by-step the process that brings into being one of her latest magnificent fabric figures. The book concludes with a twenty-year retrospective of her work, in which she shares the development of her technique from her earliest soft craft-like works through years of improvement and the creation of early significant pieces, concluding with her thoughts on future work.

If you love realistic dolls, this book is worth every penny. Lisa creates magic with wire, fabric, needles & thread.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous and Unbelievable!, June 29, 2006
By 
Joan Homann (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Figures in Fabric (Hardcover)
The dolls shown in this fantastic book are unsurpassed works of art. It is impossible to believe that this artist can achieve such fabulous creations in fabric. The figures are so realistic, one would swear that they were living people. Lisa Lichtenfels is the master of her craft. Her creations are true art on a par with any of the great masters' works. This is a book that you will look at again and again, and marvel at the exquisite works of art she has created. My only regret is that I will never be able to own one of her creations.
