Doll House Miniatures

Reviews

I have 5 books for doll making. They are Japan, American and international books. So far, these book is one of the best book I had ever read. The book was load of picture from start to finish. All artists from beginer to expert will enjoyed to look at the book. It's a must book.

For the beginner in making artist's original dolls this is the BEST book I have found if you want to make original dolls in porcelain. The step by step pictures are absolutely brilliant and the book takes you through all the processes from sculpting, to mold making, to pouring, firing, painting, putting your doll together and dressing it. A must for any original doll artist in porcelain.

This is a very comprehensive book for the advanced artist who has an interest in sculpting, molding, casting and firing his or her own porcelain originals. Anatomy, sculpture, mold-making, firing and decoration techniques apply not only to dollmaking, but to any similar sculpture, moldmaking and casting endeavour.Patterns and instructions are included for doll clothes and creation of marionettes, as well as supplier listings. However, these suppliers are in Germany, so they may only be of limited use for those of us in other countries. The book is translated from German, but the translation is nearly flawless and is written in easy to understand verbage.I highly recommend this book to the experienced dollmaker, sculptor or ceramic artist who is interested in making the leap to creation of originals for porcelain reproduction.

This book's instructions are so easy to follow and the items are so much fun to make. It has a great selection of projects that can be used in every room of the dollhouse. I am new to polymer clay and this was the perfect introduction for me. I sold my first creations, three pumpkin patch pumpkins, on eBay within a week. My oven has been full of clay creations ever since I bought this book.

This is a book good for beginner has step by step guide how to make the individual items. IT is a value for money book for beginner.

My son used his sister's copy of this book and loved it. He asked for it for Christmas and I bought it and received it so quickly, I was impressed. I can't wait to give it to him. It looks very impressive to me, also.

The variety of projects in this book and the step-by-step explanations, make it a great resource for beginners and experienced miniature makers.I would recommend this book to anyone who's interested in making their own dollhouse miniatures!

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!)
