About the Author

Jane Harrop started making miniatures as a hobby nine years ago, when she made and demonstrated the projects at her local miniatures group--her enthusiasm turned this hobby into her job. She has been teaching adult education classes for the past five years, and has had articles published in Dolls? House World magazine. Jane sells her work through local miniatures fairs to both collectors and the trade, and also presents workshops at the miniatures fairs. Jane?s first book, Dolls? House Do It Yourself: Toys and Games, is also published by David & Charles. Jane lives in Poynton, Cheshire.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Start
Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2013
Verified Purchase
This book is a great starting point for making furniture for a dollhouse, or any other small items. There were things I had never dreamed would be so easy to make. Another reviewer did bring up the point of the "obechi wood", and I admit, that left me confused. There are also some other items it asks for that you can't even find at a local michael's or sundry art store, which was a little frustrating. However, if you want the more hard-to-find items, there is a list of websites in the back of the book, and that was nice of them, I guess.

Overall, I used this book mostly for the furniture. Forget that "obechi wood", just use nice thin craft wood, and you'll be fine.

This is a very good book for the do-it-yourself miniaturist. The pictures are clear, the illustrations are good, and the instructions are easy to follow. Best of all, the projects are are fun to do and fun to have to add the "finishing touches" to dollhouses.

Reviewed in France on June 24, 2011

70 projets dans un livre tout en couleurs de 66 pages, proposée par Jane Harrops, anglaise, qui a commencé cet hobby il y a plus de 15 ans. Le livre est en anglais, mais avec une telle profusion d'images que l'on se passe du texte. Petites tables, chaises, consoles, penderie, support de plantes,étagère, fauteuil, etc. Et une foule de petits objets, certains servant à la fabrication des bijoux comme les coiffes arrondies qui décorent les perles des colliers, qui se transforment en abat jour tiffany ou pieds de lampes, les oeillets, les rivets, qui deviennent porte bougies et les perles, que selon ses formes se déclinent en petits pots ou flacons de parfum. Des fines baguettes se façonnent en tableaux, et des brosses pour nettoyer les pipes, avec l'ajout des épices ou des graines et une touche de peinture, se transforment en guirlandes pour Noël. Plusieurs pages montrent comment confectionner des décorations de Noël, grand arbre inclus.
Plein d'idées apparaissent au détour des pages, pour permettre aux amateurs des maisons de poupées, de créer l'ambiance de ses rêves, ou pour créer des vitrines, dans des ambiances séparées. C'est ce qu'il y a d'intéressant avec cet hobby, qui permet d'exprimer sa créativité, de rêver, et créer le décor ou le monde de ses rêves. Et il permet aussi de se servir de petites et grandes choses qui traînent et dont la plupart des gens n'en voient pas l'utilité.
Un livre plein d'idées pour exercer notre inventivité.
