Susanna has done it again! What do you want to know about doll sculpting in the new clays? It's here, in her inimitable prose—reader friendly, down-to-earth, specific answers for the questions you didn't know how to ask. —Barbara Johnston, editor/publisher, Dollmaker's Journal
Susanna Oroyan makes wonderful dolls. It is obvious from this book that, true to form, she wants us to be able to make them too. Love the woman. Love her work. —elinor peace bailey, cloth-doll malcer
Excellent! The well-illustrated step-by-step instructions make sculpting the human form possible. Fantastic Figures will become the basic text for all of my doll design classes in in the future.
