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.

Our Next Club Project
Our miniature club will be leading the project for our joint state meeting of miniature clubs. Over the weekend, our small group of our miniature club members got together and decided we'd work on building a doghouse. Above is the basic shell that I worked up yesterday. We plan to add clapboard siding and shingles. We'll also have the participants make old-fashioned rag rugs to put inside the doghouse, and we'll include a base that they can "landscape" outside of the house. If you'd like me to post dimensions and construction details, please let me know. Thanks!
What a classic doghouse, and a great project for the clubs!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have the details. There is no mini club where I live and this would be a fun project to do. Does your group post photos of their progress so I can watch and get ideas? I have no idea how to make the rug you mentioned either.
ReplyDeletecan't wait to see it finished!
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun George. Hope you will post the progress! :D
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see the details too - what a great project! We have four dogs romping in our little house...
ReplyDeleteHi George,
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog, and I will start following you from now on!
You make very beautiful things and you give great tips and info (just what a starter in minis as I need)
So I would be very pleased with the details of the doghouse :)
Thanks in advance!
Warm hugs from Greece, Jollie
