Rabbit's Nook. Kryjówka Królika.

Oh my! Is it more than a month of silence over here? Guess it's a total lack of a good will that kept me away of writing, lol! I hope I will be better this time as I have a few things to show to you.

Today is about my new BJD or I should write BJPetdoll, Mr Rabbit named Tsuki Kaze - yup I know, kind of stupid name for an animal, lol  but I like it;))
A sweet and only around 10cm high ball jointed rabbits are made by a very young and very talented Polish Lady of a name Natalii White (if you click her name it will bring you to her official FBpage). And we kind of "met" through FB Polish OOAK dolls group. When I saw her cute animals I of course wanted one for me. It was supposed to be a white one first but when I read she was planning to make one in black resin I knew I wanted one like that! As it was her attempt in mixing white and black resin the result is - as someone on FB said - like-a-cow-look. And because of this saying I decided to give him more uncommon name so that he wouldn't feel bad about being called a cow, lol! So according to intenet: Tsuki means Moon and Kaze - Wind in Japanese.

Oh gosh! That must be boring to read how he "was born"! Anyway straight to the point: I needed a place for him so he won't be lost easily in my room and can hid and do the things he likes.;) That's how Rabbit's Nook appeared. Yes, it's another lantern! This time I thought of giving it kind of "oriental" look. Hope you will like it and Tsuki too!










The books and little table lantern are a part of a swap with Ewa - I still need to write about that too!
The pretty brown-star fabric is a part of a swap with Betsy - yup! Another post soon! :)

The table is one that was made of buttons.;)

The ceiling lamp is going to be changed when I find a good inspiration.;) And I want to make a hookah or Moroccan traditional pipe for him too.

Dziś o nowym....Króliku, hahaha! To moja najnowsza BJD a raczej BJPetdoll, jak zwał tak zwał. Królik autorstwa bardzo utalentowanej Natalii White, mierzy sobie niecałe 10cm (z uszami).
Miał być całkiem biały, ale jak przeczytałam, że Natalia chciałaby zrobić coś z czarnej żywicy, to pomyślałam, że to świetny pomysł. Ponieważ była to jej pierwsza próba wymieszania czarnej żywicy z białą, powstał królik, który - jak się ktoś wyraził na FB - wygląda jak...krowa! ;)
Żeby mu oszczędzić "wstydu" bycia nazwanym krową dałam mu imię Tsuki Kaze (wg internetu: Tsuki to Księżyc, Kaze - Wiatr po japońsku). No dobra, ja tu o Króliku, a miało być o Kryjówce.

Kryjówka powstała po to, żeby go ochronić przed promieniami UV - bo u mnie niestety lampa z żarówkami energooszczędnymi - oraz żeby się nie zgubił za szybko ;) i żeby miał gdzie posiedzieć i poczytać, ;) Tak, to kolejna latarenka! Tym razem pomyślałam o orientalnym stylu. Mam nadzieję, że się Wam spodoba.
Co prawda lampa jest do wymiany i marzy mi się sheesha lub tradycyjna marokańska fajka, ale...;)
Książki i latarenka na stoliku - wymiana z Ewą, "gwiezdny" materiał na kanapie - wymiana z Betsy. Cała reszta, poza Królikiem, mojej własnej produkcji.;)

Buttons ready. Guziki gotowe.

I don't know if anyone still remeber the buttons I bought a good few months ago and the change of one of them? Well, I am happy to say I finally found the inspiration and finished (at least) one (well two to be exact;)) of my this year projects!;D
So here is one of them and my ispiration in the background of the photo.




And another one - the one you could see changes of before.

I am sure a few of you still remeber my little glass rooster I bought in Wrocław this year?


And button's legs.


Hope you will like the buttons' ideas.:)


Nie wiem czy ktokolwiek z Was pamięta guziki, które pokazywałam na blogu jaki czas temu? Z radoscią ogłaszam, że natchnęło mnie i dzięki temu udało mi się zakończyć jeden(a własciwie dwa;))z tegorocznych projektów.;)Fotki wraz z inspiracją powyżej.:)Może ktos z Was pamięta mojego szklanego kogucika, którego przywiozłam z Wrocławia?;) Mam nadzieję, że spodobają się Wam moje pomysły na guziki.:)

A bit of update ;)

Seems to me this blog is not about miniatures anymore lately...;)
But I finally managed to work on miniatures a bit so here is a little update.
I managed to "build" a two steps stairs for the greenhouse. They are made of thin cardboard which was kind of smooth and shiny on one side. This shiny side I glued outside and tried to paint it with the acrylic paint but the paint was leaving strange stripes. Finally I gave in and left it thinking the stairs look a bit like made of wood.;)

This is how the button looks like now. I think the work on it is not over yet.:)


I also entered a new page of this blog. It is about my BJDolls so if anyone wants to see their photos you are very much welcome to click on the page or here. Hope you will like them.:)

And last a few photos from another Polish city. This time I was able to take them in Tczew.




Udało mi się skończyć schodki z tekturki i popracować nad guzikiem(tej pracy chyba jeszcze nie koniec;)) Otworzyłam nową podstronę na blogu, gdzie możecie zobaczyć moje lalki BJD jeżeli tylko macie chęć.:) No i parę fotek z kolejnego polskiego miasta. Tym razem jest to Tczew.

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 :)
