Making Doll's House Miniatures.......2005-10-24
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.
Great book!.......2004-03-02
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!
This is the most wonderful book.......2003-10-07
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!)
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!.......2002-11-30
This book is so full of good ideas for creating items in perfect scale for a dollhouse that I don't know where to start.
How to make your own tools and formers, making dishes and pots that are more realistically thin-walled than the commercially-available items, mimicking china, a ladies' vanity set, a desk set, baskets, metal, wood, flatware, foods, fireplace tools - even the kitchen sink! Way too many different items to name them all. If I was to be forced to give up all my dollhouse books but one, this would be the one I'd keep.
Excellent intro to using the clays - basic information. Trouble-shooting tips along the way.
And her videos are fabulous, too. :-)

The Ultimate original doll-makers bible.......1999-06-26
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.
An excellent reference book for the advanced artist.......1999-02-11
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.
Customer Reviews:
a must-have-book.......2003-01-04
this was my first dollshousebook ever, and still is my most favorite one, very claer instructions-foto's.
In a class by itself........2000-03-24
The only book that shows you how to create luxurious Colefax & Fowler interiors in miniature. 'The Yellow Drawing Room' is a superb variant of Nancy Lancaster's famous, full-scale classic. If you like stately English houses, this book is a Must. Not a book for beginners.
A Must for the Do-It-Yourself Miniaturist.......2000-03-13
Jessica Ridley has miniatures in her genes. After all, her grandfather was the designer and builder of Queen Mary's Dollhouse. :-) She is a miniaturist and faux painting artist who incorporates her specialty in her projects, giving the reader alternatives to the usual approach to dollhouse decorating -- namely siding for the exterior and wallpaper for the interior.
She teaches techniques for faux finishes, customizing and building furniture and accessories, as well as using interesting and unusual materials. The instructions are illustrated with plenty of color photographs, so you can see how the project looks at the different stages.
I highly recommend this book because I think that it stirs up your creative juices and inspires the miniaturist to try something new and personalized in their projects, while at the same time saving money. Who could ask for more!
Full of great ideas.......2000-01-15
Ms. Ridley provides instructions for many settings, but many of the techniques and projects could be used anywhere, such as the flooring or stove used in the Scandinavian room or the instructions for making blinds in the modern room. The pictures are great and really help explain what's going on. NOTE: includes ideas for creating a modern room -- rare in miniatures!
Excellent book for the miniature fanatic!.......1998-04-03
This book provides ideas and directions to create the wonderful room scenes Ms. Ridley has designed. It also provides detailed instructions and tips about a variety of other subjects of interest to the minaturist such as working with polymer clay and converting common household items into exquisite 1:12 scale pieces. The detail included is extraordinary and inspirational. I highly recommend this book!
Book Description

One of the most lovely dollhouse books I've ever seen........1999-08-21
This book is a chocolate bonbon of a dollhouse book. The pictures are wonderful, the descriptions are delightful. You'll be either green with envy of the owners of the featured houses, or inspired.
A Must Have!.......1998-04-23
Of all my miniature books, this one is the one that I always have handy. It is invaluable for the beginner and experienced miniaturist alike. The author shares hundreds of tips that are both clever and inexpensive. The photography is excellent and is especially inspirational to anyone doing a shop. Included are a grocery, fishmonger, millinery, pharmacy, bakery, hat shop, toy store, and antique shop. (I probably missed several). There are also houses and roomboxes. While this isn't a manual for particular projects, the ideas can easily be translated to your own settings. I wouldn't be without this book in my library.
Book Description
Floral, striped, leaf-like designs based on authentic patterns—for decoupage, collages, wrapping gifts, book covers, box linings, dollhouse wallpaper, more. Large sheets.
Book Description
145 windows in the standard size printed on translucent paper. Color and mount to get stained glass effect.

Good resource for 1:12 miniature stained glass windows.......1998-07-10
Ed Sibbett has provided useful and "ready to use" stained glass designs for any miniaturist working in 1:12 scale dollhouses or room boxes. This book includes designs for windows; over the door transoms; and sidelights for either side of doors. It also includes stained glass designs in circular and other shapes, which is a welcome addition to many heirloom dollhouses.
There are a variety of different designs and most of the designs could be useful in a victorian or modern setting.
Because of the diversity of the designs, the different shaped "windows" and their appeal for both modern and victorian periods this book has been an useful addition to my 1:12 scale miniature library.
