The
Summer 2006 issue of Art Doll Quarterly has rolled off the press and
is available on newsstands now! Inside, you’ll find:
|
|
Teri Taylor’s delightful sprite doll is full of charm. Made form a mix of materials, the little figure sits in repose, napping before the next journey. |
The Doll Artist profile takes you into the world of master dollmakers Jodi and Richard Creager, whose lifelike small-scale dolls will amaze you! With a devoted attention to detail, they each develop parts of the dolls independently and bring their creative work together to bring their magical dolls to life. |
|
|
The Cover Story features Jerrie Hall’s colorful character, Court Jester. Made for her doll club’s exhibit at a show, Court Jester springs to life from his painted box base. Jerrie’s use of translucent washes of color give a vibrant dimensionality to the face and costume. The use of gold leaf on the juggling balls really makes them pop. |
|
Our Celebrity Doll Challenge resulted in a wave of truly amazing dolls. You’ll enjoy page after page of wonderful characters including Johnny Mitchell’s all-paper Oprah Winfrey, Ann Walkers’ Cher and Diana Ross soft dolls, Cheryl Riello’s Cartwright family from Bonanza and so many more.

Susan Lenart Kazmer’s mixed media art utilizes a wide range of materials. Her figures bring together found objects and fibers and one of her favorite materials, casting resin. Susan explains the technique of resin casting and shares some of the ways she uses this material to achieve specific and very interesting results. |
For those seeking a quick doll-making fix, Instant Doll Art is here! Michelle Newman shares a fast and fun technique for stick dolls that have a primitive flair. |
|
|
|
Show & Tell is filled with an array of interesting dolls, such as Suzanne Lappan’s sequined and beaded peacock doll.
|
|
Plus challenge dolls from the Central New York doll is Art Guild, Susan Degeneres’ lively garden witch, theatrical rod puppets, and Susan Bellamy’s Scribbles, a quick method of making doll templates. |
