Limited editions and special offers
A number of exhibitors have told us that they are working on some very special pieces and exclusive offers for the show and here are a small selection:
I have a range of over 50 books dating from the Elizabethan to Edwardian eras.
To these I have added a new range of limited edition leather bound books. With the help of an established bookbinder, I have found that sheepskin skiver suits my miniature books the best - I even stained it myself.
These books incorporate blind tooling and gold foil gilding. Like my other books, the pages are all stitched and bound using traditional bookbinding techniques. The limited edition leather books cost £8.50 each.
This new Family of rag doll kits are designed in 12th scale sizes especially for the Dolls House hobbyist.
They are a traditional style of rag doll but made to my own design.
Each kit contains the pattern, instructions, non-fray fabric as well as any required beads, (for eyes), pipe cleaners, (for armatures) etc.
Also included is a free starter clothing pattern but there will be plenty of scope for you to be as adventurous as you wish as you will be able to dress them using most 12th scale clothing patterns, in any Period or style, or for you to crochet or knit items for them.
They do not include any wigging as there are so many ways of doing hair and so many colours and styles available from many good suppliers. Hair can be made from cotton, wool, viscose etc.
They are not for the complete beginner but should be fine for anyone who has reasonable sewing skills and are fairly dextrous so will be an enjoyable project.
All limited edition pieces made by mini munchies will be signed and dated by the artist.
Each piece will be limited to just three, made exclusively for miniatura and will come in a clear plastic presentation box. £22.00 each
Here is my new range of cutlery. All the pieces are made of stainless steel, so that they don't tarnish, some of them have cast polished pewter handles, They are all made to 1/12 th scale, however the childs knife and fork would be small enough for 1/24th scale.The cutlery includes pickle forks and cheese knives. Cake slice and cake forks, Two types of fish knives and forks as well as a standard cutlery range of dinner knives and forks, spoons and butter knives.
Also the stainless steel range includes ten decanter labels, with different drinks engraved on them. which will fit our new 18th century decanter.
The range will also include, small ladle, sugar sifter, tea spoons and egg spoons, and two different styles of salt and pepper shakers.
