Making Fantasy Cloth Dolls, Paperback

Building on her previous book, Introduction to Making Cloth Dolls, Jan Horrox’s new guide focuses on instructions for crafting more fantastical dolls. The lessons in these projects not only include the characters such as beautiful fairies, amazing mermaids, and enigmatic witches, but also delve deeper into making webbed fingers, delicate wings, and aquatic tails. Step-by-step instructions are provided for all the basic techniques, including how to make hands, feet, and faces, and templates for all other body parts are included. Crafters are encouraged to use their imagination to create dolls of their own, and the alternative designs that accompany each project show how easily this can be accomplished by altering faces, colors, fabrics, and adding embellishments.
