I hope that is! I am trying to figure out how to add my .AVI video files from my MAC Air. So please be patient. Thank you! Annie:)
For those who make knitted projects for thier artdolls.
Patti Medaris Culea is another great doll maker who explains each step with clarity.
Easy to read. Good illustrations. Would buy more of her books.
Jack Johnston. A kind man and a great mentor.
Here are two of the best books you can find once you have a handle on how and what technique you want to use for your art doll journey. His books not only give you extra insight to how he makes his dolls but also how to market and sell them. A must have! I found his books on Ebay and Amazon. Also I am including a photo of two of his great VHS classes on how to sculpt the head, hands, feet, as well as, how to construct the body. Wonderfully insightful!
Susanna Oroyan is a great mentor for all dollmakers.
If you're a frugal dollmaker like myself you don't have to spend an arm and a leg to find great books on the art of doll making. I usually go to Amazon and because a settle for a Good Condition book, I can get my art doll books anywhere from $1.00 to $10.00.
The first book I bought was by author Susanna Oroyan. And I have purchased 2 more by her. She is good at providing detailed illustrations which show the reader exactly how to construct the type of doll making technique they want to learn. Also, her books are packed with photo images of many other doll artist so that you can get a good idea of the different techniques and the end result. All of the books I have bought so far reflect the same sentiment. Hope this book review for Susanna Oroyan has helped you. Annie:)
