George has been a miniaturist ever since he was six years old. He began building dollhouses in 1978. He has built and decorated three doll houses - two from scratch and one from a kit. He also has created a number of room boxes - some serve also as lamps in addition to showcasing miniatures.

Curtains and Lace
I'm frustrated! It's such a hassle trying to find fine lace and cloth for the curtains and bedding in my new dollhouse. When I recently shopped for lace and cloth, the fabric store here disappointed me. When I did my last dollhouse's curtains and bed, I don't recall having this problem!
As you can see from the photo, I built a rather intricate pelmet for the study window. I don't want to install an out of scale fabric that detracts from the "reality" of the scene, but I may have no choice!
I would love to see a photo of the pleater that you use. It looks interesting from what I can see of it in your pics.
