I started with the House of Miniatures Hepplewhite side table. For the additional top detail, I used a Woodsies circle cut to fit. The middle is a scrap of balsa cut slightly smaller than the Woodsies half circles. I added two small scraps of wood on the smaller top assembly to delineate the faux drawer.
I didn't think I'd have a steady enough hand to paint only the edges with the yellow detailing, so I started with a full under layer of Moon Yellow by Folk Art. I covered this with Tapioca by Folk Art then used fine sandpaper to lift the lighter top coat to reveal the yellow beneath, some parts to the original wood for an extra bit of wear.
I added aged copper knobs and painted the wheat and crisscross details with a fine tip brush. I don't think I did a half bad job considering I've not painted freehand tiny designs before. I then covered the table with a very thin coat of Delta Ceramcoat satin varnish.
I love the way this table turned out!
