Now you too can make a doll that may become a collector's item or, at least, an antique of the future. There are delightful colour photographs throughout the book, depicting both traditional and modern, innovative and inspirational dolls, made by leading dollmakers from around the world. This beautiful book will guide and inspire you to try this satisfying and absorbing craft.
