Making Dolls

Rating:
Summary: Wonderful, with a few exceptions
Review: Ms. Reinckens' book on making Waldorf style dolls and puppets possesses a wealth of creative ideas. From chapters on creating the doll's head, face and body to mending a well played with doll and making a hobby horse , this little book packs a lot into its 56 pages. I enjoyed the colorful pictures, descriptions and ideas for making various dolls, however, I was a little disappointed with the patterns and instructions included. For example: In one part of the book she gives instructions for making a medium-sized doll, but fails to mention its proportions. Although I eventually was able to figure out what they were, it took a lot of time an effort on my part, searching through other chapters in order to find them. Despite minor problems, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. A must for anyone interested in doll-making.
