As an Amazon and Etsy associate, I earn from purchases, with no extra costs for you, however.
Who Is Julie Warren and what are her books, miniatures and tutorials?
Well, I will tell you right away with a little biography:
In the year 2000, Ms. Warren got a dollhouse for her birthday, and ever since then she got ‘the miniature bug’. Her interests are mostly to be found in dollhouse miniature furniture, which she started to specialize in.
She started turning her hobby into a business on Etsy in 2015, called ” Little Bits & Pieces by Julie “. I will have a closer look at what she sells in her store further on in this blog post.
In the same year, she also published one of my favorite dollhouse books on furniture tutorials called “Step by Step Dolls House Furniture Projects”, on a scale of 1:12.
Further down the road, she released 4 more dollhouse books on different topics. And I will also discuss these in this blog post!
ButFirst, You Might Want To Take A Look At Jullie Warrens’s tutorials on Youtube!
Because I think it is worth looking at, and that is Julie’s YouTube channel!
