Doll Face Painting Step-by-Step
Each of Patti’s learning DVDs and video workshops demonstrate a new way to paint a doll’s face using different materials each time.
In Cloth Doll Inspirations Patti works with Watercolors and Marker Pens to demonstrate new ways to color and highlight your cloth doll face, bust and other body parts.
Using her classic drawing techniques, Patti demonstrates how to lay out and sculpt cloth doll faces before moving on to give them personality. Special attention is paid to ethnic doll faces highlighting the differences in drawing and coloring required.
Custom Doll Clothing - Draping Cloth Dolls and Dressing Dolls
Patti loves making doll patterns and many are available pre-made from distributors.
But why not make doll clothing custom for your doll?
In this workshop Patti shows how to use paper towels and tissue paper to custom draw and drape clothing which is custom fit to your doll and sews the finished clothing. An unusual and often overlooked approach to doll making workshops, well demonstrated in Cloth Doll Inspirations.
Ethnic/Mutlicultural Dolls & Vintage Cloth Dolls
Patti Culea has been making ethnic and mutlicultural dolls for more than twenty years. Her books illustrate the wide variety of ways you can customize cloth art dolls to emphasize cultural values and norms and our workshop explores a variety of ethnic and multicultural dolls in demonstration and gallery examples.
From Li Mei, our Asian Inspired Doll to Victorian Era clothing to a more contemporary outfit for our French/Provençal themed doll, Patti discusses how to take one pattern and rework it in as many ways as your imagination can…imagine!
Cloth Doll Accessories
Patti takes the often challenging process of making doll heads, bodies and hands and turns it into a fun and easy project. Follow along with the enclosed pattern + instructions as you learn to stitch the body, make doll heads, hands and bodices and more.
Buckled Shoes, Embellished Corsets, Faerie Wings, Hats and custom beaded Hat Pins — there is really no limit to how you can accessorize your cloth doll and Patti demonstrates several ways to finish your doll — including working with parts of her wedding dress, laces from her grandmother, and vintage pins and beads she found while rummaging in charity shops and at trade shows. Loads of finished examples from friends of Patti are included for each section of the workshop.
