Book Description
Rediscover old sentimental favorite dolls from the art deco era with respected dollmaker Susanna Oroyan. Here are flappers and vamps, co-eds and clowns, bed dolls, even accessories-more than a dozen in all-that are easy to make and embellish. Next, Oroyan offers a comprehensive history of dolls and dollmaking in the years between the World Wars and shows how to collect, repair, and restore old dolls, then create one's own art deco beauty. Filled with gorgeous full-color photography, Dolls of the Art Deco Era is a dazzling gallery of creative inspiration for collectors, crafters, and doll lovers everywhere.

Reader Reviews
For those of us who admire, collect, make and renovate 1920s and 20s-inspired art dolls, Susanna Oroyan has written a thoughtful volume focusing on boudoir dolls from the Art Deco period. Although the topic is covered better visually in another of my favorites, "The Magic and Romance of Art Dolls" by Stephanie Farago, the strength of this book is in Oroyan's excellent research, writing and wonderful storytelling ability. Her fresh and fun-loving writing style shines in this book (the illustrative drawings also are quite good.) Unlike her other fine books, which focus more directly on the art, design and mechanics of doll-making, this book is a loving tribute to a period, aesthetic and style of doll that she very much values, appreciates and knows well. And for that we can be thankful, as Oroyan has contributed so largely to the doll-making world, with her vision, her instruction, and her art. Highly recommended as another fine book to add to the resource library of "students of the doll."
