Description:

Making furniture for a 1/12 dolls' house is a daunting prospect for many miniaturists, but Freida Gray demonstrates that imagination, ingenuity and patience can take the enthusiast a long way. Beginning with simple projects requiring little more than a craft set, she gradually builds the reader's confidence for more demanding work involving cabinet construction and the use of miniature power tools.

At every stage listing the basic tools, equiptment and materials used, she provides same-size drawings and cutting lists for the creation of a wide range of miniature furniture, while colour photographs throughout the book show how the pieces look when finished:

· upholstery, including chairs, a divan and a sofa
· Portuguese-style painted furniture
· imitation rush seating
· the basics of furniture construction
· garden furniture in balsa wood
· using ready turned components
· trimmings and needlework
