This is the most wonderful book

I made myself a miniature drugstore since I am a pharmacist and I had trouble finding things like mortars and cylinders. Thanks to this book I managed to make the most beautiful look-alike mortars with pestles and all, also a little turn-of-the-century (last century, of course) telephone. The directions are precise and you can really get what you are looking for (and I had never touched polymer clay in my life!)

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!

This book is so full of good ideas for creating items in perfect scale for a dollhouse that I don't know where to start. How to make your own tools and formers, making dishes and pots that are more realistically thin-walled than the commercially-available items, mimicking china, a ladies' vanity set, a desk set, baskets, metal, wood, flatware, foods, fireplace tools - even the kitchen sink! Way too many different items to name them all. If I was to be forced to give up all my dollhouse books but one, this would be the one I'd keep.Excellent intro to using the clays - basic information. Trouble-shooting tips along the way. And her videos are fabulous, too. :-)

outstanding book

I have never been disappointed with any of the books from this author. She does an oustanding job of showing how to make a diverse range of miniatures in this book, from different kinds of food all the way to a wood burning stove. It has beautiful color pictures of the projects and easy to follow instructions. If you are a zealous miniaturist,you will not be disappointed!

hours of fun, with great results.

The book is a real fine for me. I made the tea set first and have not stopped. I even ordered the book for a friend. If you like crafts, and enjoy the reward of making things for your doll house, then this is the book to start with... You may not ever finish?
