Synopsis

A Victorian milliner's shop contained within a hat box... a fairy house conjured up in a hollow log. Create these enchanting scenes in amazing detail, using nothing but everyday containers, basic tools and readily available materials. "Whether you're a compulsive maker of dolls' house miniatures or a fascinated beginner, this book is for you." --Home & Country

About this title

From Booklist:

At last a how-to crafts book that doesn't try to cram all types of instructions into too few pages. Instead, editorial consultants Susan and Martin Penny prefer to leisurely space--and pace--their information, concentrating on seven quality projects. They start with an in-depth look at different materials; each "ingredient" section includes a list of necessities and also features how to fashion individual miniature accessories--a chocolate box of wood, tiled floor of plastic, wallhanging of paper, tomato of FIMO (a polymer clay), and more from other found or household items. The main draw here? Seven unusual containers, all inexpensive, whether an old enamel teakettle or unused octagonal hat box. Each vignette is well documented and explained and, more important, thoroughly original. What child wouldn't delight in a closer examination of the Wizard's Spell Book? Barbara Jacobs
