  1. Aww, your books are much more elaborated than mine :)! They look perfect, next time I will use your tutorial - the effect is definitely better.

    1. That is so kind of you Chiriann, thank you. :) Hahaha! They are far from perfect, silly me forgot to do printing on the spine, but seeing as these are for a table display, rather than to sit in a bookcase, it doesn't matter too much . . . thank heavens!

    1. You are most welcome Sharon. Actually I'm surprised with all your previous experience that you haven't done something similar for your larger dolls. If you have any further suggestions for "dollhouse" props which can be made for larger dolls I'd love to see them . . . pretty please!

  4. Hi Sandi,

    Your books are beautiful and elaborated. I want to make books for my dolls and figures for a while, first I'd need to buy ink for my printer XD

    Greetings ^^

    1. Thanks so much Lily. They are pretty simple to make, so you should have a go when you get new ink. :)

  8. Thank you for another amazing tutorial! I am going to try this one. I love the books you chose. That Dior one, I have that one too. It came free with a magazine I think. I use it as my interior design inspiration book.

    1. Hi Alasse!
      You are welcome. Ah you may well have something similar, but my wonderful Dior book was purchased when my daughter and I went to see the fabulous Dior exhibition held at the NGV (it certainly wasn't a freebie, darn thing almost cost an arm and a leg, and it weighs a ton! LOL!). You would have loved seeing his gorgeous gowns IRL, they were divine! It took me all my willpower to stop myself touching them. :) Will post some pics of the pages in a later post if you like.

    2. Ooooh would love to see photos of the pages. Mine just has the Dior cover but inside are only just blank pages. Have you seen the Megan Hess fashion illustration books? She does a lot of different designers and I am sure she has done a few Dior ones too. I love fashion illustration.

    3. No I haven't seen them, but I will look out for one for sure, thanks. :)
