Exploring Projects and Processes
through Cultural Traditions128 Pages
Using history as a starting point, Lisa-Li Hertzi has created five exciting
doll projects, inspired by five very different cultural and historical
icons/figures. Through the projects she explores the creative process, the
meaning and significance of each figure, and teaches techniques that doll
makers are currently experimenting with: journaling, collage, mixed media
and found objects. Each doll is presented as a step-by-step project with
complete instructions, and is followed by a gallery featuring
interpretations by leading doll artists of the same cultural figure.
Fantastic full color illustrations and patterns by the author are included.
