The Summer 2006 issue of Art Doll Quarterly has rolled off the press and is available on newsstands now! Inside, you’ll find:
Jean Bernard and Sherry Goshon’s collaborative art doll, “Our Muse,” lives up to her name. The beautiful mixed-media doll evokes the power of an all-knowing deity costumed as a fantasy woodland vision dripping in glass beads and Swarovski crystals.
The Doll Artist Profile of Arley Berryhill reveals the obstacles he overcame while on his journey to becoming one of the top doll artists in the country. Arley channels his studies of and skills in theatre, costume and fashion design, makeup, illustration and puppetry into his highly detailed and wonderfully sophisticated fabric figures.

Despite a formal art background, Crystal Jackson pursued doll making as a distraction to a painful illness. In the process, she brought her artistic inclinations and natural talents to life with beautifully textured and culturally significant artwork.
Delve into the historical and cultural significance of kokeshi dolls by reading Michelle Newman’s revealing take on “the kokeshi circuit” in Okinawa.
Witches come to power in fall, when Mother Nature begins her colorful preparations for winter slumber. Stacy Clark’s whimsical “Autumn Princesses” usher in the season.
We can’t imagine a sweeter Halloween hooligan as Derrick the Vampire Bunny, a whimsical creation by Susan deGeneres that’s sure to take you down memory lane in fond remembrance of your childhood trick-or-treating days.

This “trio of trollums” is sure to delight with their open, child-like expressions even as they amaze with their authentic dress, posture and attitudes. Indeed, these “trollums,” as dubbed by doll artist Ceallaigh Dwyer, are too cute to be trolls.
