Overview
This comprehensive guide for beginners and experienced doll makers shows how to create many different kinds of handcrafted dolls from natural materials. Handmade dolls with their simplicity of expression and design leave children's imaginations free, rather than being con-fined by perfectly finished dolls made of artificial materials. Instead, these dolls encourage the magic of creative play and bring children the gift of imagination in which they see them-selves as "makers." Included are:* Ten designs, including soft, baggy, angel, pouch, sack, and limbed dolls
* Twelve basic clothes patterns and ethnic variations
* Tools, techniques, and materials
* Safety guidelines and sewing methods
* Recycling tips and where to get materials
Author Biography: Maricristin Sealey draws on a variety of rich traditions for inspiration. She is a professional doll maker and runs doll-making classes. Kinder Dolls is illustrated by her daughter Isabel.
