The Complete Book of Dollmaking by Pamela Peake
Dollmaking has caught the imagination of people all over the world for centuries. And today, the fascination remains as great as ever. The Complete Book of Dollmaking shows you how to create your own collection of dolls without using expensive equipment and materials. The dolls range from charmingly naive cloth dolls and traditional peg dolls with painted faces, to elegant dolls with porcelain bisque heads, made in a similar style to the coveted Jumeau bebes of France. 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.
Pamela Peake has specialised in textile crafts for the past thirty years, especially in soft toymaking, puppetry, dolls, patchwork and miniatures. Pamela has written extensively on these subjects for both magazines and books. She also runs workshops on dollmaking and has had her work exhibited in the UK and internationally.
