From Something Under The Bed:
"Doll Crafter" was merged with "Doll Costuming", a terrific "How To" magazine, in Jan. 2006, and became "Doll Crafter & Costuming", which ceased publication in 2010. Until 1991, it deals almost exclusively with crafting porcelain dolls, instead of cloth or even Sculpy, but there's still a lot to pick up here for other crafters who don't happen to have a kiln handy(Goldstein's tutorials alone are well worth hunting these magazines down), and the pattern inserts in each issue are awesome. These patterns are strongly sought after, and part of the problem...is finding issues that still have this pattern intact!
Publication values were very high from the start for "Doll Crafter" with full color photos and well written articles. Until the start of 1991, the articles were almost all about casting a particular porcelain doll - you'd get a great picture with the instructions showing the doll dressed as the artist visualized their doll to look. While you got the instructions for dealing with the greenware and painting it, you seldom got instructions or patterns for the clothing the dolls wore. You had a token article on custom dressing your dolls(which was quite sporadic) and the famous Poissot pattern in the middle.
