Second I must say that everything started when I felt in love with Nikki's book stand. I was absolutely amazed this beautiful miniature is made of the jewellery wire. But of course as usual I was just too slow when trying to buy it on Etsy!;)I am sure it has a good home right now.:) Then I saw two absolutely stunning chairs one was made by Tabs and the other one again by Nikki. The jewellery wire is something I could easly find here so I thought I would give it a try. Bought 10m of the wire and was sure it will be even too much for the book stand as I was thinking of making something really simple and without branches for a start.;) 10 meters wasn't too much. It was just exactly what I needed for one simple book stand. This is the first book fitting.
And that's how the book stand looks like now. I added some metal jewellery parts for the legs and arms and painted them black.:) The beautiful book you see on the book stand is one of two I was lucky to win in Nina's first give-away.
As I am to give this idea of making miniatures more than one try I am very happy the jewellery wire is cheap here! :)
Zapatrzyłam się w miniatury z drutu jubilerskiego, które ostatnio pokazały na blogach Nikki i Tabs - wyszły im piękne krzesła i stojak pod książkę, w którym się zakochałam. Jak zwykle na Etsy byłam zbyt wolna i ktos mi ten stojak sprzątnął z przed nosa!;)Ponieważ drut jubilerski można łatwo i za nieduże pieniądze u nas dostać postanowiłam spróbować zrobić sobie podstawkę pod książkę sama. Kupiłam 10 metrów drutu z przekonaniem, że na jeden stojak to stanowczo za dużo i że zostanie mi jeszcze na inne miniaturki, zwłaszcza że stojak nie miał mieć gałęzi bocznych i miał być bardzo prosty w formie. Drutu mi nie zostało. Na ten stojak poszło całe 10 metrów i parę półfabrykatów metalowych na nogi i górę trzymającą książkę. Tę piękną książkę wygrałam w pierwszym give-away'u Niny:)

It is FABULOUS! You've done wonderful job with it, I have to try one also as it's really needed in my witches house :)
Thank you so much, Ira! Hope to see something made of wire in your witches house soon!:D
Yep...I wasn't fast enough to acquire that bookstand either... You did a nice job on yours. Working with wire it fun, don't you think? The possibilities are endless. Though I think I might try to twist Nikki's arm regarding another bookstand.... I have enough on my plate.
Its amazing what can be made with wire. I really love your bookstand. I bet you're pleased with it.
I'm not shocked you used that much wire. Its not expesive but the time it takes with all the winding can take hours. I spent 8 hours winding the wire for the chair.
Hope to see more, its addictive!

Thank you so much, Tabs! Yes, it is a lot of fun!:) I am not surprised - Nikki does beautiful miniatures!:D
Thank you so much, Nikki! I am very pleased as it is my first work with wire at all:) Yes, winding takes a loong time but somehow I found it..relaxing. Well, it wasn't 8 hours in my case.;)
Excellent work, Ewa!! It's
You seem to be able to try anything, and succeed!!
Que gran trabajo, te ha quedado fantastico.
No debe ser nada facil, trabajar con el alambre y que de ese maravilloso resultado, enhorabuena!!
besitos ascension
Great work!
Love, Susanne
Absolutely great book stand! I missed so many things - bottles that I just loved, shelves, the whole scene looks amazing. Love to watch all details. Oh, and the night photo - beautiful!
Thank you so much, Glenda! You're very kind for me but it really is not so, I wish minies made by me were a half as great as yours!:)
Thank you so much Ascension, Susanne and Victoria!:D I am so happy you like it, Ladies!:D
O wow, that is one really really fabulous book stand, Ewa. Especially after you added the parts. 10m ? That's a darn long wire! So you didn't use a stick ? Is it just all wires?
Yep, Sans, no stick. What is my 10 meters comparing to Nikkis 50 and 8 hours of wending? ;D
Its brilliant Ewa,cant believe 10 metres of wire are in there , but it looks so good !

Ewa its wonderful! I havnt tried wire myself but would like to so you are very inspiring!I love the look of the book on it, a perfect addition to your project! Kate xx
Thank you so much, Julie and Kate! Kate you must try it one day:) It is a lot of winding but a lot of fun too:)
This is fantastic! I'd like to make one for my dollhouse. :)
Hey Dale, I don't know why but I can't post your comment here. I know I didn't delete it - I have got it in my email too:) Thank you so much and yes you should give it a try!:D
Ah... it showed up. And, here I thought I broke blogland. ;)
Ooooooh! It's lovely Ewa! That's a lot of wire you had to twist, I don't think I'd have the patience.
This is off the subject, but I changed my mind about that EasyCast I've been so highly praising, LOL. You'll find out why on my blog in the next couple of days. :( So I'm glad you didn't run out and buy it. I don't have your e-mail address but thought I'd better let you know.
Dale, hahahahahah! :D
Thank you so much, Kristy! If you have the patience to make these lovely furred little fellows then twisting wire is like nothing for you!!:D
Thanks for the info about the EasyCast - hope to see what you made of it!:)
¡Asombroso como has sabido retorcer el alambre!
El resultado es espectacular.
Te ha quedado un atril precioso.
Besitos, May
