I have a small cabinet that I had stained very dark because it had some marks I couldn't sand off but I don't like very dark so I decided to try again and started stripping it
as you can see here I had already stripped the door using citristip and covering with plastic to remove the finish, I had not started on the rest yet but you can see how dark it is. My hubby said because of the shape of the cabinet it needed something like a shield on it so I searched around for different pictures and combined a few to make my own shield
I used blockposters.com to get the right size, taped the printouts together, traced it onto the wood using carbon paper. I used different colors of acrylic paints, used gold for the shield , brown for shadows and white for highlights, silver for the swords and black for shadows, blacks and greys for the the eagles , white for the feathers just painting short lines in white for the fethers, red and yellow for the background and the lower part I just tapped white onto the grey shadows to make it look cloudy like. I can't wait to finish the cabinet and put it all together.
