Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Wisconsin miniaturists Santovec and Ogreenc take a different approach with their step-by-step projects for miniature items of Americana from Native American to contemporary sports. The emphasis is on clothing, popular culture (e.g., an aluminum Christmas tree), and sports equipment. No room settings are provided.
