book note: Make your own dollhouses & dollhouse minatures
I've been pursuing some of my favorite "make your own dollhouse furniture" books from my childhood. While this one isn't one of them, if you're interested in Minatures, it's a good read.
Marian Maeve O'Brien. Make Your Own Dollhouses & Dollhouse Minatures.. (Greenwich House, 1975).
While a bit dated, especially since it makes references to pricing and suppliers, this practical book gives practical instructions and patterns for making your own minatures. Of particular interest is her section on what tools and equipment are useful. The writing is pedestrian but practical, the photos a bit crowded and small scale, but the patterns and drawings are excellent. Instructions for making dollhouses from scratch and from supplier's materials are also included.
