Let's read: We make dolls

[ENG] Today I won't talk about a magazine, today I'd like to talk about a book, We make dolls, a book where top dollmakers share their secrets and patterns (nice!). 

The book is divided in 10 different sections, each one of them with one dollmaker, showing their projects and giving you patterns (23 in total) explained with a step by step tutorial, images and templates.

The designers are (in order of appearance): Nichol Brinkman, Danita, Sasha Pokrass, Mimi Kirchner, Maria Madeira, Ana Fernandes, Denise Ferragamo, Jenn Docherty, Suse Bauer and Katie Shelton.

The idea of such a good book comes from Jenny Doh, the author.

You can find it at amazon.

[CAT] Avui no us parlaré d'una revista, us voldria parlar d'un llibre, We make dolls, un llibre on dissenyadors punters (no tots, seria impossible) de nines, ens ensenyen els seus secrets i patrons (mola!).

I la idea d'un llibre així ve de Jenny Doh, l'autora.

El llibre està dividit en 10 seccions diferents, cadascuna amb un dissenyador diferent, on mostren les seves creacions així com donant patrons (23 en total) explicats pas a pas, amb imatges i esbossos.

Els dissenyadors són (en ordre d'aparició): Nichol Brinkman, Danita, Sasha Pokrass, Mimi Kirchner, Maria Madeira, Ana Fernandes, Denise Ferragamo, Jenn Docherty, Suse Bauer i Katie Shelton.+

El llibre el podreu trobar a amazon.
