Janet Granger of Dollshouse Embroidery Kits has followed through with her idea to produce tiny finishing kits for dollhouse furniture (the bases for her miniature needlework). She says,
For years, it has bothered me that people who make miniature furniture have to buy large tins/jars/bottles of varnishes, waxes, and so on, when really you only need a tiny bit! The problem was that I couldn’t source really small bottles and jars (as, to finish a doll’s house sized item, you only need a very small amount of wood stain, or wax, or whatever). But recently, I managed to find a great supplier, so now I have launched two Wood Finishing Packs – a Mahogany Wax one at £5.95 (to use with kits such as the tea trays), and an Oak Varnish one at £4.50 (to use with kits such as the dining chairs and rectangular stools). They will save you having to buy large amounts that you simply will never use up.
