Miniature Gothic Cabinet Tutorial - A Tale of Two Finishes

It has taken far longer than I anticipated - but, at long last I'm proud to present the latest offering from Thicketworks Studio: The Miniature Gothic Cabinet. For a very long time, I've longed to experiment with metal powder inlays. Woodworkers use this technique all the time, and it can be stunning. I just knew that the intricate paper cuts that are made possible by the Cricut Maker would be a perfect way to bring genuine bronze inlays into our miniature realm! Now, the bronze inlay method involves a LOT of sanding. Oh, yes indeed. For those who crave the look and feel of genuine metal inlay - it's worth it...but not everyone longs for the cool caress of metallic surfaces... So, for those who want a glamorous look without all the hard work, a set of bespoke Miniature Stencils is included, so that either contrasting paint or texture paste can be used instead. Either way, I hope you'll enjoy the process of creating your own version of this little jewel of a cabinet. ➡Purchase SVG Bundles at the Thicketworks Studio Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ThicketworksStudio/ ➡Join the Thicketworks Notification Squad: https://thicketworks.com/newsletter-sign-up/ ➡Sign up for Thicketworks Online Creative Courses: https://courses.thegraphicsfairy.com/ 🚩 Supplies!
