This is a Fabulous French book put together by Aude Berger. There are beautiful large photos of works by 13 doll artists. I was pleased to see dolls of some artists that I had not previously known.
Some of the artists included are Wendy Froud, Tine Kamerbeek,Virginie Ropars Veronique Jacquelin, Heloise, and Bets and Amy Van Boxel.
The book is in French, but Aude has had some of the writing translated into English. She is looking for someone who can help her translate the rest of the book from French into English. If anyone can help or knows of someone who can translate, please contact Aude at oo.berger@laposte.net. You can e-mail Aude if your interested in purchasing the book, she does speak English.
What I read of the translated work is charming and as beautiful as the dolls. Aude has an enchanting style of writing like reading a fairytale. Thank you Aude for creating such a wonderful book for us to see!
Happy Hauntings, Gail

Great collection of doll artists! You are in good company. I just got a Japanese doll book - can't read a word of it but at least the pictures are nice :) I love Joanna's work as well as Virginie. Would be worth checking out for the others. You are getting so much press these days!! Congrats!!
Great find! Thanks for passing this along.
Hope all is well. :-)
Ooooh! I love these! This book looks really great. I wish I could wave a magic wand for you...if only I was a Faerie Godmother...but I'm more like a 'Furry Grandmother'... drat..now where's the Veet?
The one on the cover is an Hannie sarries creation, isn't it?
You're right, beautiful book... I'll try to buy one copy! It's difficult to find a good one!
:-)
Thanks for all your comments! I've been away much to long being the caregiver these days! Not much inspiration comes from that! I hope to get posting again!
