Go to the website to see pictures of the dining room and more. Probably, if I had known the book was this well-done, I would have bought one all those years ago when it could be had for a relatively reasonable price. Maybe they will reprint it. I haven't searched too hard for one lately, so it may yet be out there.
This Italian blog shares some wonderful images of the interior of the Victorian Paper Doll House produced by Piggy Toes Press. I had always wanted one of these, but never picked one up. I think now they are getting hard to come by except in used (and tattered, most likely) condition. The pictures show off how much amazing detail went in to designing this lovely pop-up house.

This compilation from Stella Blum is one of the nicest (and cheapest) resources available for black and white fashion designs from the 19th century. It's available at Amazon with a new cover. The version I posted at right is the one I actually have (an earlier edition). I use this book a lot to get ideas and have learned a lot about the construction of these clothes (especially all of those complicated folds and tucks!) from studying the pictures. I am still organizing content to fill here, but hello in the meantime! I am using this first post to set up the tagging feature. It's my goal to add new content at least twice a week, so even though this probably won't be a "daily", I hope you will subscribe to the RSS Feed and check back regularly! |
