I had the perfect table for the Butterfly scene, but I wanted it black, not the fruitwood it was.
 |
| Table in the background needs to be black...and blue vase needs to be red. |
And, yes, the blue vase looks good right now cuz it's picking up the blue in the painter's tape but eventually that blue vase will be switched out with a red one.
So I decided to spray paint the table. Lots of people spray paint miniature furniture. So I can too, right? Yikes. Something went terribly wrong....
 |
| Streaky bubbles appeared! |
I'm not sure if I held the can to close to the project (directions said 6" - 8" away and I thought I had but...), or if the temperature in my garage was too cold for spraying that day, or if I did a second coat to soon after the first, or what happened. But those streaky bubbles looked hideous!
 |
| Sanded all the bubbles off and tried again |
 |
| I love the design on the table edges; thankfully the paint didn't bubble up there! |
 |
| Gave it another first coat (lightly) |
My patience was tried, but I made sure to measure and sprayed only 7" from the project and I waited an entire day between each of my four spray coats. So my one-day project took four, but I am happy with it...
 |
| A table top I can live with! |
 |
| Finally! So pretty! |
I also spent an evening this week priming the box pieces, assembling the pieces, and wallpapering the interior space. And I got an extra vase and painted it red so the flowers are now ready to go!
 |
| Coming along nicely! |
Yeah. So those parts are done. Now to experiment with the "dirt" (coffee grinds) and to get over to the laser cutter to print out my Shoji doors I designed!
