This book contains an extensive selection of step-by-step projects for making miniature food items for the 1/12 scale dolls' house. The realistic-looking meals range from simple fruit, vegetables and bread to "celebration food" and banquets. A comprehensive section, featuring the step-by-step techniques of working with polymer clay, involves shaping the clay, mixing colours, texturing and finally, baking it. The necessary tools and materials are also detailed, as well as how to put them to their most effective use. Colour photographs show the finished items and display ideas and instruction are given, from bread baskets to a complete table setting.
From curtains, blinds and drapes, to pelmets, tiebacks and valances, everything you need to create inspirational window dressings for our dolls' house is included here. Over 25 step-by-step projects show how to make a variety of window treatments. Further variation ideas, illustrated in colour, allow you to adapt many of the project to suit your dolls' house. A section on the basic tools and equipment used offers practical guidance on choosing fabrics and miniature haberdashery such as silks, cords, fringes and trimmings. Essential techniques such as making a pattern, fabric pleating and making tassels and cords are included and guidance on installing your finished project is also covered. Easy-to-use templates are provided where necessary, and inspirational colour photographs show the finished curtains displayed in situ.
