Playing with buttons

A cake plate perhaps? It is a bit too big for a plate but maybe for an epergne it would be all right.

Actually it is a quite big button. I loved the pattern and the colours of it. I put some clay in the holes and then painted the middle with white acrylic paint. And then decided to try with the gold one...So here you can see the button in white and you can even see the holes still and the one in gold.

And still they are both WIP.

Dzis zabawa z guzikami. Trochę za spore są, ale na paterę do ciasta mogłyby być. Spodobał mi się wzorek na nich - widać go wyraźnie na białym guziku. W dziurki napchałam troszkę glinki samoutwardzalnej, jak wyschnęła to srodek pomalowałam na biało, a potem spróbowałam na złoto. Na białym jeszcze widać slady po dziurkach.:) To jeszcze nie koniec zabawy z guzikami oczywicie :)

My wonderful win!:)

As you all know by now, I am Ericka VanHorn's fan, I love all her miniatures and her incredible imagination:). Sometime ago I was one of the lucky winners of her give-away and won a wonderful book. Ericka emailed me if I had an idea of what she could put on the pages so I sent her a few pictures I liked leting her to choose. Yesterday the book arrived home. She even added a poem to the picture! Just look at that! Isn't it fantastic?!;D

Two close-ups so that you could see the picture well.


Wish I had a mirror like this one.;D
Thank you sooooooo much Ericka for this wonderful gift! I promise to use the book soon and it will be presented in Spinner's End for sure.:)
Also this pretty escritoire is my new purchase that arrived this week too. Don't really know where I will use it but it was so pretty I couldn't resist.;D

Wczoraj dotarła do mnie moja wygrana w give-away'u Ericki VanHorn. Jak wiecie jestem fanką jej miniatur więc ta wygrana sprawiła mi wielką przyjemnosć. Ericka napisała do mnie z pytaniem jaką chcę książkę, a ja przesłałam jej propozycje obrazków - które mi się podobały - do wyboru.:) Sekretarzyk, na którym leży książka jest całkiem nowym nabytkiem, zajechał również w tym tygodniu do domu. Jakkolwiek wiem, gdzie znajdzie swoje miejsce książka, to póki co zupełnie nie mam pomysłu na to, gdzie postawię sekretarzyk. Ale jest taki ładny, że nie mogłam się mu oprzeć.;D

Metal works part2

It is soooo windy here. The storm on the sea. But I like it being on the ground. I feel like the air is in every cell of my body. Nice.:) Tomorrow I go to Toruń once again but this time I hope to come back home before the evening falls.:)











Częsć druga kowalstwa artystycznego z Torunia.:)

Metal works part1

Still photos from Toruń. Actually there are so many beautiful metal works it is hard not to take at least one photo of each of them.;) Hope you will find them as pretty as they were for me.:)













Pierwsza częsć fotek kowalstwa artystycznego z Torunia.:)

Just a stool.

Back to miniatures as I promissed.
I made this stool of six metal and non-metal jewellery findings. As they were in different colours I painted them with a bit of black and a bit of gold acrylic paints and fixed together with the universal assembly glue - lately my favourite glue when it comes to shelves on the walls for example.;)It keeps things together quite firmly.
The legs are short, a bit curved, metal tubings which are usually used to make neckleses. The top is non-metalic part of earing and there is also a little metal ring that keeps the legs together.


Wracam do miniatur choć na chwilę.:) Taboret powstał z szesciu biżuteryjnych półfabrykatów. Częsć z nich jest metalowa, a częsć nie i w dodatku były w różnych kolorach. Pomalowałam je więc na złoto-czarny kolor, następnie połączyłam razem za pomocą Pattexowego Super Fixu. Ostatnio jest to mój ulubiony srodek do montowania miniaturowych półek na scianach, trzyma całkiem mocno. Nogi to metalowe zakrzywione rurki używane do robienia naszyjników. Blat to kawałek zawieszki z kolczyka. Nogi razem trzyma jeszcze niewielka metalowa obrączka - przerywnik pomiędzy koralikami, używany do robienia bransoletek.

Inspirational lemons.

I had no idea the word "lemon" means "ugly" in English too! LOL!
I promise to post a bit of miniatures during this weekend but today the other side of Toruń and some inspiration too.;D





A bit of shabby chic pink;)


Yep, you're right I've got more photos of these "lemons" in my camera.;)

Trochę fotek drugiej strony Torunia. Dla mnie są one absolutnie inspirujące.:)
