Doll & Figure Links

Make dolls! Make LOTS of dolls. Make lots of WILD dolls. Give them names and lives. Enjoy their companionship. Place dolls in highly inappropriate places. Chuckle. And then go make more dolls!

These are links to just a few of the many fabulous websites featuring art dolls and figures. Generally, it's smart to start with cloth dolls or paper dolls--whichever you prefer--and explore from there.

Cloth doll how-to websites often include mixed media figures, in addition to more traditional doll designs. Some will mix "sweet" and "not sweet" dolls; everyone has their own tastes and standards.
