Art Doll Adventures by Lisa Li Hertzi
Doll-making inspired by cultural icons - Exploring
Projects and Processes through Cultural Traditions
Finding meaning in your art is one thing; doing it for
the fun of the creation is another. How do they go
together? Making dolls inspired by cultural icons brings
new meaning to your work and helps you connect with
larger universal truths. Doll makers are very conscious
of and interested in the history of the human/female
figure and cultural icons, and often use them as
starting points for their designs. Spirit dolls, African
icons, goddess figures, and Hopi katichinas are all
popular forms. Using history as a starting point,
Lisa-Li Hertzi has created five exciting doll projects,
inspired by five very different cultural and historical
icons/figures. Through the projects, she explores the
creative process, the meaning and significance of each
figure, and teaches techniques that doll makers are
currently experimenting with: journaling, collage, mixed
media, and found objects. Each doll is presented as a
step-by-step project with complete instructions, and is
followed by a gallery featuring interpretations by
leading doll artists of the same cultural figure.
Fantastic full color illustrations and patterns by the
author are included.
