Doll Caricature Book

Doug Keeling has done it again with another totally FAB Faces book.  This one is how to do Caricature Dolls.  Along with step by step info he also gives you pages of drawings of noses, mouths, eyebrows and eyes.  All sorts of shapes and designs. If you don't want to do your own there is a bunch of trace off pattern in the book.  Caricature dolls are so much fun to do and add additional special-ness to the doll you design.
Our self published book is available on my website.  www.keelingskrafts.com/catalog2

                                                        Doug himself, with a doll of himself.

Sassy but Simple Dolls


We love doing the Simple but Sassy doll and writing the Doll Story Adventure for our three month old Great Granddaughter. I was inspired to create a set of 8 different Simple but Sassy dolls all made out of the one pattern so you could enjoy them too. These are quick and easy to do. No clothes to sew, unless you want to, just paint on the clothes.  I love quickeee but fun projects and this sure is one of those.  I have also included a cute story than can be read to the youngster.  It is about finding the doll and rescuing it. It is a short but cute story easily enjoyed by as a read to story.  I have highlighted the story where you can put your child's name in the story and personalize so they are part of the plot. So you are getting a Simple but Sassy Doll pattern with eight different dolls plus this personalized story.  What fun is that.  Check my website under patterns of  Keeling books. www.keelingskrafts.com/catalog2
