Excellent book with all the info. you'll need! May 16, 2006
In this book, Maureen Carlson presents all of the information you will need to get started at making either figurines or art dolls . . . or both!

Not limited to friends and family, the book contains basic information you can work from to also create your own characters. The information can be overwhelming if you just page through the book, but the author's fun tone and excellent photography work hand in hand to create a text that truly welcomes you into what should become a fulfilling hobby.

I especially appreciate her focus on how everyday items probably already within your home will work just as well as the more expensive tools available in craft stores. So be sure NOT to stock up on supplies while waiting to receive the shipment of your book from Amazon!

My one "complaint" is that the author focuses so much on her more mature friends and family. It would be nice to have more examples and instruction relating to children and babies.

If you are going to purchase only book on how to make dolls, faces, hands, feet in polymer clay this is the book that you want. It is the best to date that i have seen. Buy it. You will not regret it.

anyone notice how the sculpture of the man on the upper left of the cover is flipped left-right from his photograph also pictured on the cover? pretty suspicious.

I found this book very interesting. This is not for the person who wants to make something "quickly". It involves a lot of patience but the end result is fantastic.
It was well worth buying!
