Book Reviews of Making Soft-bodied Dough Characters

Book Review: Darling book!
Summary: 5 Stars

What a great book--the pictures are clear to show you what you're doing, the book contains both animals and people, and the designs are sweet. I can't wait to start. These figures I thought would be smaller, but all are six inches high. Although the book warns that these are decorations and not toys due to small parts (such as beads for noses and eyes) I would like to try making some dollhouse dolls for an older child.

Summary of Making Soft-bodied Dough Characters

Flour, salt, and water: it's amazing such commonplace materials can make such incredible, wonderful things! With this exciting new angle on the popular and easy-to-master craft of molding dough, the possibilities are endless: a smiling, bright-eyed clown; a pirate pig with an eye patch and bandanna; a frog fly fisherman; a bride and groom; and a mother bear with 5 little cubs in 5 little pockets. Simply attach the individually formed dough heads and limbs to a "soft body"--you can even mix them up imaginatively to construct your own unique characters. All the basics are here including a recipe for salt dough, basic techniques, sewing patterns for the clothes, and enticing color photographs of the finished projects.
