NEXT FAIR DATE : DOREEN JEFFRIES DOLLS HOUSE FAIR STAFFORD JANUARY 10TH 2010

This week I have decided to focus on my FINE HAND-FINISHED AND HAND-MADE FURNITURE

If you are looking for something a bit special and don’t want to pay the earth, take a look at my finished furniture range.

Years of ‘dabbling in antiques’ has taught me to appreciate beautiful furniture. I have even done some furniture renovation of my own.

So it was natural to turn to miniatures and use my skills on these tiny pieces.

Using French Polishing techniques on barewood furniture really produces beautiful results as you will see if you explore this section. I try to make the finish really authentic so it looks really old………Lots more pieces are planned….time is the only constraint!

I hope you enjoy browsing the site.
