L. Delaney's House of Shadows How to Create Miniatures for an Eerie Setting

A puppet narrator — created by artist Dr. Superhelga — escorts you through the crowded rooms of his spooky Victorian mansion in this unique combination of storybook and craft guide. The curiosities that L. Delaney exhibits in full-color photographs form the miniature, step-by-step projects detailed in the second part of the book.
You don't need specialized skills for these projects, which are simple enough for beginners but sophisticated enough to intrigue experienced crafters. Each step of the detailed instructions is accompanied by a color photo. Suitable for dollhouses, shadow boxes, and other displays, the items include books, candles, picture frames, hatboxes, suitcases, furniture, and much more, including a papier-mâché version of the haunted house itself.

Lauren George first became interested in creating miniature fashions after making a box of personalized items belonging to her grandparents, including family portraits, quilts, and her grandmother's wedding dress. Now she sells her miniature items on Etsy and teaches her craft through tutorials and classes.
