Product Description
Synopsis
For anyone who adores the art of creating small things, The Art of the Miniature provides a treasure trove of practical techniques and ingenious approaches. In this captivating guide, noted artist Jane Freeman shows readers, step by step, how to use modified kit components and found and handmade objects to create intensely detailed miniature constructions. Readers will learn the entire process of creating a miniature room, structure, or landscape, from selecting a container to choosing the subject, approach, and style. Page after page of wonderful, full-color examples display painstakingly accurate "portraits" of interiors and buildings (like a Hollywood studio and a trendy New York City retail store), imaginary opera sets (Don Giovanni, The Magic Flute) and even the studios of famous artists. The book also features the inspirational work of several other leading miniatures artists, including Susan Leopold, David Levinthal, Victoria and Richard MacKenzie-Childs, and Alan Wolfion.

4.0 out of 5 stars Imaginative miniatures, 14 Nov 2005
By A Customer
I loved this book, it really is small worlds rather than dolls' house, in fact doll house makers would probably be a bit disappointed with it as it is rather more art than realism.

There are loads of great photos of miniature 'stage sets' / display boxes, mostly made from recyclables and odds and ends. It doesn't really have much in the way of projects as such, and the make-it advice is very general, because the end result depends very much on individual imagination - you couldn't and wouldn't want to exactly repeat any of the projects, but they are great inspiration.

It is written from a distinctly USA point of view, which makes a few product names and terms unfamiliar to non-US readers (for spackle read Polyfilla!), but not too much of a problem.

For anyone wanting to make miniatures that border on mixed-media art projects, this is for you. A fascinating and unusual book.
