We welcome spring and all its joy with our new online class, which is available in two different versions!
Our project begins with a wonderful 1/12 scale buffet. Made from wood, the piece features the addition of 3d resin printed elements that allow us to add dimension, detail and features that we just can not achieve with wood alone. The wonderfully shaped legs, fabulous rabbit insets and spring floral panels add so much to this piece. Not to mention those darling egg shaped drawer pulls. The buffet has a lovely curved mirror to reflect the wonderful pieces that adorn the top of the piece.
In this version, it's all Oh La La! Darling bunnies balance plates of Macarons, and tiny cups of tea in time for a lovely spring brunch.
A plate of Macroons stands between the rabbits. On either side are darling teacups filled with roses, and the cutest little bunny! And flanking the display are two urns holding colorful Egg Topiaries! All of these lovely figures rest on a pretty laser cut doily.
We are showing the hutch in three different colors so you can see how versitile it is, and how well it ties into the colorful figures, regardless of the color you choose to paint your buffet.
All of the figures are very high quality 3d resin prints, which have been cleaned and primed, ready for you to print with your acrylic paints. I have extensive tutorials on my website for painting our resin figures, including information on techniques as well as the products we have found to work the best. Additionally, specific information to guide you on painting the specific pieces in this project will be included in the tutorial.
We used, and highly recommend the use of chalk paint on the actual furniture piece. This will allow you to paint both the wood and resin parts easily and have consistent color throughout the piece. We used a pretty shimmery white wax over the floral plaques, bunny plaques and the knobs, but you could also use acrylic paint and dry brush to bring out the highlights of these wonderful details. Buffet measures 5" across, 4 1/4" high and 1 3/4" deep.
The kit includes all parts and materials needed to complete the project as shown here, including lasercut wood and plexiglas mirror, 3d resin figures and parts. Instructions will be provided in an extensive online tutorial which will include photos and written instruction for each and every step.
No paints, stains, or tools are included in the kit. Students will also need to include glue. A complete list of suggested supplies and tools in included in the tutorial.
Registration is open now. Space is limited, and offered on a first come-first served basis. Please refer to all photos for additional information, and if you have questions, don't hesitate to drop an email. Be sure to check out our second, Victorian Version, of this project, which is the next item to appear in the cart.
