Dollmaking for the First Time

by Miriam Gourley

Published 1 February 2006
As with all the acclaimed "For the First Time"[registered] books, this book teaches the basics of doll making, with a wide selection of dolls ranging from cloth and wooden dolls; life-size figures and those as small as clothespins, to dolls as ornaments. The techniques are all provided in an easy-to-follow question and answer format and are accompanied by a project. Above all, every page encourages crafters to break the rules, use their imagination, and find ways of making each doll special.
