The
Spring 2007 issue of Art Doll Quarterly has rolled off the press and
is available on newsstands now! Inside, you’ll find:
|
|
Doll Artist Profile subject Adele Sciortino was trying to find a media that could work with all the fine arts techniques she had learned over the years. After taking an online doll-making class, she realized she truly had found her calling in the figurative arts.
|
Leslie Bailey took up polymer clay just a couple of years ago but wields the medium like a pro, as seen in her highly detailed and expressive fairy figures and woodland characters. Often, she displays her dolls in imaginative forest scenes. |
|
|
Terri Moisan’s “All That I Am” carries weighty messages of self-esteem and self-knowledge. Terri started with a simple papier-mâché gourd, making it a canvas for paint, fabric, thread and bead embellishment. |
|
Chocolat! by Mary Wiggins takes the stage in candy wrapper petticoats, pantaloons and garter belt. That’s right, candy wrappers! You have to use what you have on hand, says the artist.

|
Ready to sigh “awwwww ... ” and get all mushy inside? Anyone with a heart beating inside her chest can’t avoid melting at the sight of Karen O’Brien’s artful teddy bears made with mohair, dressed in vintage doll dresses and stuffed with love. |
Shelly Lampshire got so frustrated when some of her polymer clay dolls broke during shipping that she began experimenting. Now she makes articulated hands and feet for her whimsical creations. |
|
|
|
Doll artist, pattern maker and popular instructor Gloria “Mimi” Winer came up with new techniques in creating a collection of elegant, wire-armature, fabric-sculpted mermaid dolls.
