Rating: - Just ... not good.
The simple truth is that Ms. Guidice's repaints are not very good. Although she may help an absolute beginner get started, her own work is so amateurish that it's uninspiring. I don't expect fantastic writing, but the examples do not create confidence in the expertise of the instructor.
Any Jim Faraone book has better eye candy and specific tips; many, MANY generous doll artists offer help online with tutorials and fabulous galleries of their work. A quick search of the Web (try "repaint ... Read More
Rating: - Marginal product.
Firstly, I am quite disgusted with the author's own glowing review of her work in the pretended guise of a user/reader. Perhaps she wrote this review before Amazon implemented their "real name" options and forgot that she had written this review anonymously. In any case - one might consider disregarding a pretend review by the book's own author.

Rating: - A wonderful backup to the first!
I just left a review for the first book Creating Fashion Dolls and I had to drop by here to leave a comment about this book. The Irish lassie "Shannon" on the cover is beautiful.

These books have helped pave the way for my makeovers and I wouldn't trade them for anything. My best advice to the person sitting on the fence over the purchase of any of ... Read More
Rating: - Not worth the time
I bought this book with the expectation of seeing examples from a experienced doll artist. I felt her painting was elementary and not artistic. I expected a more professional and pulled together product from someone writing a how to book. Stick to Jim Faraone's book or get on the internet and look up doll customizers and repaints. The overall information was good but her painting style is sloppy.
Rating: - Basic How To Book - disappointing
This book is for the beginner who has less than no idea where to start. It does have basic how-to info but I found the examples and dolls in the book very disappointing. I feel like even though I have never done a fashion doll repaint I can do at least as good a job as the author did if not better. I was expecting a lot more and if I had paid full price for this book I would have returned it. (I bought a used one) I don't want to be mean but the nose holes on one doll looked like boogers and the Julia Roberts ... Read More
