Cloth doll making is such an expressive and rewarding art form, since cloth is such a magnificent medium for expressing one’s feelings, as well as a splendid canvas to do almost anything: embroidery, crochet, knitting, working with embellishment, collage, beading, paper clay, needle sculpting, dyeing, textiles, costuming, millinery, coiffure, ribbon work, painting and sketching.
