Cloth Doll Faces - Ray Slater

From leading international doll-maker Ray Slater, Cloth Doll Faces is a practical paperback guide for makers who want to create vibrant, expressive faces in cloth. Packed with ideas and clear advice, it focuses on the part of doll-making that brings personality to every character, showing that face-making can be both approachable and enjoyable when you follow a few simple rules.

Ray takes you through the full process, from finding inspiration and developing designs through drawing, to colouring, sewing and embellishing the head. Using three basic face designs—flat, three-dimensional and collaged—you’ll learn how to build a varied collection of characters, with tips for adjusting proportions, hues and feature placement to achieve different looks and expressions. Fully illustrated step-by-step instructions guide you through each approach, and the book also shares two body patterns designed to suit all three head types, with body templates included.
