TO BE HONEST Creative Cloth Doll Couture
To be absolutely honest..When I first received Creative Cloth Doll Couture
I was disappointed, Know how creative Patti Medaris Culea is , is just beyond words,
I have all her books, Creative Cloth Doll Couture at first glance I thought oh no! This isn't my style
of creating my dolls, I thought !!!
BUT as you truly dive into each and every page of Creative Cloth Doll Couture's
You will learn not only knowledge but wisdom also!
I am learning so much about creating a dolls clothing for ANY type of dolls, learning about
"ALL THE HOW TO DO IT'S"
From :body construction, making darts, how to draw a face , face sculpturing, 3 piece heads, jointed legs,
straight legs and so much more
How to create Clothing, and Accessories, Learn from creating clothes from Fairy, Whimsical, Formal,
BIGGEST thing I have wanted to learn was the different types of materials, this book tells ya!!!!
collage, layering,appliques' fiber and transfers
I HIGHLY recommend this book..from beginners to advanced!
Great Pictures and Ideas
This book begins with directions to make the doll. This is good, because you are not forced to buy a separate book for this. Most importantly this is a book for the truly creative, for those who want something different. If you need inspiration and ideas, this book is for you, there are a few galleris of examples throughout the book. The cloths range from all the pieces of a skirt suit (including lingerie and shoes) to 60's bell bottoms to fairy-ware. They are colorful, unusual and some are high fashion evening ware. The pictures are great and the instructions seem clear (I have not made any of the clothes yet. Unfortunately there are more gallery pictures than patterns, that is my only complaint. There is engough of the basic theory to help you design some simple clothes on your own. I have all three books in this series and they are all very good!
Excellent Doll Book
For the avid doll maker this book is full of inspiration and information. I highly recommend this book, regardless of your skill level at sewing. I can not sew well, but the directions make it easy to follow basic patterns. The pictures are beautiful and the book is a job to look at. Truely a must have for any cloth doll maker!
