Recently read: Terry Taylor’s Artful Paper Dolls

This winter I became enamored with paper dolls—both for themselves and as a viable component of a piece of art. Through an Amazon search, I stumbled (not literally) on Taylor’s works, and find his books inspiring. In this one, subtitled “New ways to play with a traditional form,” Taylor explores the evolution of paper dolls from ancient times to now. He provides ideas, instructions, and examples from 24 artists, including himself. Beautifully produced, the innovative artwork furnishes a wealth of ideas for collage and mixed media artists.
