5.0 out of 5 starsIf you love color, you will LOVE this! What an inspiration!
By MzQd on January 16, 2005
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Get out your scissors, girls, Patti Culea is taking you on an adventure in dollmaking creativity!

This is surely one of the most artful and inspirational dollmaking books to come along. There are three body patterns -- beginning, intermediate and advanced -- they build upon one another and are totally mix and matchable. The instructions for constructing each level of doll are superb -- clear and well-illustrated with the very best step-by-step directions for needle sculpting I have seen. Culea then details how to embellish your doll with fabric, with painting, with beading, with collage, with stamping, with Tyvek, [wow!] to make it your very own.

The best part of the book for me is seeing how all of the doll artists [and there are many in this book] get a full page to share not just their creative process -- but a close-up look at their interpretations of the doll patterns used in the book. What a cool idea, Patti!

This is a wonderful book! If you are looking for creative inspiration, or just want to see what's happening in the world of "doll as art," this book is it!

5.0 out of 5 starsDolls for the Amateurs
By Shalizeh on August 27, 2003
Format: Paperback
If you don't have an Idea of how to begin making dolls this is the book that will take you from the beginning to the end. You want to get creative and make abstract projects this is it. If you already know the process of making dolls this book will only enhance the way to make them. The book has explanations on how to create a tye-dye fabric for dolls and also painted fabric. I think once you get into the process you will enjoy the book as much as I have.

5.0 out of 5 starsCloth Doll Heaven for other crafters too!
By Syntha Green on March 31, 2003
Format: Paperback
This book contains 3 doll patterns, in levels so you can choose the difficulty of doll you want to make. The parts are also interchangeable so you can select the hand, legs or torso that you wish to create your own doll. There are plenty of pictures and step-by-step instructions for the novice, as well as lots of photos of what other doll artists have done with the patterns to inspire creativity galore. Definately eye candy for the crafty. Patti Culea's dolls are dyed individually for stunning effects.

5.0 out of 5 starsSuperb.
By A Customer on January 17, 2004
Format: Paperback
Not for the faint-hearted. Newbies should be advised that these dolls are not as easy to make as the author suggests. At the very least, intermediate sewing and stuffing skills are needed.
To avoid or minimize disappointment with the finished product, beginners should experiment with a fully adjustable sewing machine and a small selection of the expensive materials required before attempting to make projects shown.

5.0 out of 5 starsWonderful book...
By L. Dombrowsky on September 4, 2005
Format: Paperback
In my opinion, this book is great. The patterns are interchangeable, and the instructions are easy to follow and complete. The photos are beautiful, and the gallery photos are inspiring. There are new techniques to try, and this is how I've learned to draw and paint faces, and needle sculpt.

I really like the patterns and use them (or parts of them) frequently. I use this book and Patti's other book Creative Cloth Doll Faces constantly as reference books.
