Artdolls: Basic Sculpting and Beyond

Rating:
Summary: Wow! This is a great book.
Review: After reading the new Artdolls book by Jack Johnston I made my first doll, and it turned out pretty good. I would never have believed I could make a doll from a book, but I did. If you have a desire to sculpt your own doll, this is the book to help you. Thanks

Summary: Good Teaching, Photography Lacking Somewhat
Review: Good teaching, helpful details, nice stories behind some of the creations but many of the photos are very unprofessionally done. Considering the price of this publication more thought should have been put into the photography.

Note: Mr. Johnston does quite a bit of "selling/self promotion" of his products in this book but it is his book so it's his right, right?

Overall, a very good book on sculpting, sewing, encouraging others to succeed.

Summary: This is Jack's best work to date.
Review: I've read all of Jack's books, taken his seminars and viewed his videos. As good as his books and videos are, this book is head and shoulders above them all. It may be the most complet text and photos available on polymer doll making. The photos are wonderful, the text is educational and the sculpting is excellent. Jack is one of the best doll makers and educators in America.
