Yesterday the advance copy of my kind of new book arrived. My publisher decided to create a compilation of my 4 doll making books. It was hard deciding what chapters to include and which ones to not include. I wasn't sure how it would look, or if I'd like it.
After receiving the book, I have to admit it is more than I thought it would be. It is truly beautiful.
The book is like a complete textbook on doll making as it takes the reader from a beginning type doll to a more advanced doll. We've taken the best of each of the books and put them in one volume.
The book is 304 pages, so quite large for this type of book. It covers several ways of creating faces, bodies, hands, feet, clothing, accessories, and beading.
It is very exciting and I'll be eager to hear what people think of it once it is released.
The release date is in March. Keep watching by publishers website for the release date.

Also, don't forget to check out my publishers blog. Lots of fun stuff there.

I have always liked the fact that your doll patterns (in your four main older books) were all in the same scale so that the doll maker could mix and match parts as it were. I continue to reccommend your books to people as the writing and diagrams are very helpful. Thanks for writing them.
