Medallion Door for Samusa :)


SewMini

Once @Samusa threw out the idea of making my door medallions inset in the door I couldn't stop thinking about it. I loved the idea. But then I tried to do it with wood. I tried and FAILED. I tried so hard you guys but it just wasn't happening. Those curves are just so tight and the wood kept splitting. I probably could have used balsa but it's just so soft that I was afraid it would constantly get dented. So, as always, mat board to the rescue! I cut two door pieces and embossed some lines in them to make it look like they were made from planks. The medallions will be inset by gluing those to acetate and putting the acetate/medallion layer between the mat board layers. I still have hinges to deal with. That's next.

Beautiful job!  Nice touch to score the mat board.  Once painted, no one will know the difference, and the cut-out medallions will be stunning.
