Fascinating insight into creativity - By: ILONACAT, 26 Feb 2006
It was a real pleasure receiving this book & setting aside an evening to delve into it properly. It records the round-robin journey of 9 art dolls. There is a detailed, technique-focussed chapter on how the dolls were made & then an equallly detailed chapter made up of the journals which accompanied the dolls. These journals were an opportunity for the artists to record their impressions of each doll & of the process itself ; sometimes, the entries are written in the doll's voice !

What emerges is a picture of 9 dolls who are reallly 9 fascinating individuals. It's also interesting to hear of how the artists felt about each stage of the work. I have never made a doll-or an art doll-in my life but other people's creative processes enthralll me. And artistic collaborations enthralll me too.

A very well presented, attractive book. Full marks.
