~It is almost impossible not to exclaim
over the color photographs of Carroll's
dolls....
The directions give a wide overview of
the process, beginning first with mold
making and concluding with the
fabrication of leather shoes as opposed
to set-in-clay boots.
Aspiring doll makers will benefit from
her ideas, which include a golden angel
with gold-fabric trapunto wings and
Indian children adorned with lush,
colorful fabrics and costume jewelry.
