Dolls You REALLY want to make

Dolls you wish with all your heart you could really make..Have you ever said to your self

"Aw man I wish I could make dolls like that." and your heart just beats up and right away you think of so many people you would create these dolls for and give as gifts and also sell as well.
And feelings of accomplishment towards your art work.

Watching your favorite artists creating one gorgeous doll after another.. You stop and think
How do I even get started..Yes having a library of books is step number one for sure..But it just doesn't answer questions you have of the dolls you see and really want to make...Then you think I will just email the artist and ask her how she created that pattern , or How she created that face..How did she attatch the hair?

But you stop and then wonder if this would be the correct thing to do?

After all the artist's have perfected their own style and have worked so hard to have achieved that look , that style, all the extra they have put into their own creation.

Is it fair to even think about asking artist's??

Would it offend them? Would they think your trying steal from them??

This point here is a touchy one: Yes their are some who do copie others..I say what a shame..because their not showing their own talent that they do have..Their just showing the talent of the other they are copieing from..People can and do tell whos are creation is copied from some elses..I dont mean by using a pattern
or even using a pattern then saying its your own design..always give credit where it is do always.
I for one do not mind in the least when others ask me questions, I create simple Prim FolkArt dolls,People ask how I age, How I drew the eyes what did I use for the eyes,
But even if I was creating the style of dolls I really want to make , I still would be happy to share and help.

Ok now we see a doll we suck in our breath and I say Oh Lord I want to make dolls like this one" then it ends there..why because I see this doll and see how the head has a chin but yet it is not a round head there are no seams in the face , she has a neck and wonderful shoulder.

Is it a 3-D head ? to me, it is 2 D okay how did they achieve that head..How did they learn to make it?? these are some of my questions.. also looking at the doll

well let me stop there and place a picture of the doll I am think about ok:Nancy is one of my favorite artist's, This one of the style of dolls I REALLY want to make:

This is what I am talking about when I say sooo much about what to do and How and where to begin..wanting to know how they achieved this ..wanting to learn..I think now after writting this article of sorts..I as for me step number one to begin in creating

**Dolls You REALLY want to make** would be , stay totally focused.. (talking about me ) doing nothing but that hearts desire. (Except for your own prior commitments)..But creating **Your doll you REALLY want to make*** your personal number 1..take the plundge be determined

don't think any thing but postitive, make this your very own challenge..But main thing to **Dolls You REALLY want to make** is to START!!!
