Welcome to the latest edition of Australian Dolls, Bears and Collectables.
This issue we have some fabulous projects to test your skills and artistry, including some Christmas-themed crafts.
There’s beautiful bear Leigh Ting, Janey the sweet-natured cloth doll, and Cheeky the fun-loving bear with fully articulated limbs and a hand-sculpted polymer face, and pretty reborn baby Ellie.
You’ll be looking forward to Christmas with the debonair Mr Claus reborn, gorgeous tiny cloth doll Santa, and ideas for creative Christmas gifts using a bisque ceramic book, a wooden book, a shadow box and a glass ball ornament.
Lesley Hurford writes about delightful celluloid dolls with moulded bracelets, Shirley Richards takes us on a fascinating wander through the Steiff Archives, and we profile talented artist Kay Douglas.
On a sad note, Bertie…
