Description
|
Modern Cloth Dollmaking is a group for people who like to make cloth dolls, especially ones from patterns by designers from the late 1970s through 90s--and right on in to today.
In many ways this was a "golden age" of dollmaking. Exciting new designs could be found everywhere--featured in women’s magazines, books, large commercial pattern companies and small mail order businesses, and periodicals devoted entirely to dolls and doll making.
Just a few examples of designers whose patterns you may find us working on here are Colette Wolff, Susan Sirkis, Judi Ward, Estelle Ansley Worrell, G. P. Jones, Antoinette Cely, Kezi, Jean Greenhowe, Loretta Daum Byrne, Miriam Gourley, Venus Dodge, Millie Hines, Carolee, Joan Russell, Gabrielle Cardy, and eleanor peace bailey.
We are also interested in learning what these or any designers can teach us about dollmaking techniques in general so that we can improve our work and grow as artists.
So if you have patterns from that "golden age" you want to make, please share your pictures and experiences with us here! Maybe our interest will inspire you to pull out some old ones you've had in the file forever and rediscover how nice they are.
