Making Waldorf Dolls (Crafts and family Activities)

I think this book is the same as the author's earlier title, Kinder Dolls (something like that) and the "used book" prices on that earlier title have been inflated too high. "Making Waldorf Dolls" is expensive at $30 yet a bit more cheaply made in that it has no color photographs. No matter, I have to say this is a great! book with wonderful patterns, S-M-L size bodies, very clear drawings and instructions, how-to(s) for hair. This book also has a jointed "doll" body. If you're looking for a jointed "baby" body, that is in the book "Baby Dolls and Their Clothes" by Valeria Ferrari (also an excellent book) but I have to say that Making Waldorf dolls is better because the patterns are MUCH! easier. This book is my favorite of 5-6 sock doll books I own.

I had her earlier version. Sadly, I loaned it to a friend who lost it. I got this when I realized it was an updated version of my greatly missed book. If you have the older version, this is very different in content (So I still miss my old book) I like her instructions. They are easy to follow. Love, love, love, that their are full size patterns for clothing dolls of many sizes.

Yes, with this book you can make some very cute dolls, but bring your imaginations with you because the drawings, as cute as they might be, aren't as useful as they could have been. They are too sketchy and fuzzy. Having said that, the directions are spot on clear so if you are a good reader, you are ok. It is a very useful book for any doll maker, experienced or not.

This book is perfect. Amazon's price cannot be beat. This book walks you step by step to make these beautiful Dolls. They even give tips on everything even enlarging the patterns. I am so happy I bought Making Waldorf Dolls, and I saved money buying here. Full patterns, where to buy items needed, how to weight the doll, every doll pattern is here. I have used other patterns to make dolls and they were awefull but these turned out perfect from the first one.

This was a book used by a master doll maker as I attended a series of classes on making Waldorf Dolls so I had a chance to look at it before I bought it. It covers all the basics from sculpting the inner head to creating clothes, including patterns. It is fully illustrated and the directions are easy to follow and has suggestions for pacing, from small projects to more involved ones. Craft books tend to have only a few useful patterns or bits of information and I do not usually spend $27 on a paperback craft book, but this was well worth the money. All the instruction is valuable and I will no doubt refer to it again and again.

i bought this book to help aid me in my need to make waldorf style dolls. it was, and is, extremely helpful, well-written, and easy to understand. i recommend this to anyone looking for a step by step how to (with illustrations!) on making waldorf dolls of all kinds and their clothes.

I disagree with the last reviewer regarding the content of Maricristin's book. This book has everything you need to make a wide variety of Waldorf-style dolls. I have made three versions already, and I am working my way through the rest of the patterns. The instructions are clear and complete. The book doesn't have big pretty pictures, true, but it has all the information needed to make dolls. And that is really what matters. This is a niche market book, and it is one of very few available. In my opinion, the chapter on hair alone is worth over $30.

I wasn't very happy with the way this book was illustrated. I had hoped to see actual projects in progress but the pictures are hand drawn. I'll keep it because I basically collect doll crafting books.

The media could not be loaded. Great book! The fact that it has drawn pictures makes it easier to understand, it could with one or another picture but not sure it would help that much. The instructions are clear and have even started. Great gift and do recommend.

Gostei do livro, pois é rico em desenhos ilustrativos sobre o método de confecção da boneca de pano Waldorf.O livro abrange, de forma completa, a modelagem do corpo da boneca, indo até a confecção das suas roupinhas.Com moldes para copiar, a autora descreve em detalhes o passo a passo de como fazer o brinquedo mais precioso para nossos filhos: a boneca Waldorf.

Excellent guide for Waldorf Dolls, fitting patterns. I have already made a lot of angels as a baby-birth-gift for my family and friends.

Sono molto soddisfatta, ottima qualità

la pena de este libro es que esté en inglés y haya tan poco en español sobre el tema. Pero está bastante completo
