Arjen's little table

During tthe Rheda fair I bought two kits from Arjen Spinhoven and this week I put together this little table kit. The kit is well made, easy to do . Painting was a different animal , though. Still, I did my bestest and came up with this (not as neat as he does, but it does look nice ) :



It looks like this  if you look from the ceiling ( have a vision of a doll hanging in the chandelier..)





I think this is one of the first kits I did not mess up big time after my re-entry into miniworld!

Arjen has actually written a tutorial about painting this baby in DHMS # 251

Here is the table with a centimeter, just to get an idea:

    Je eerste keer schilderen van ziijn werk? Ik vind het er helemaal niet verkeerd uit zien. Is de tafel groot of lijkt hij groot?

    Groetjes Thea

    It's a stunning little piece Elly you've made a great job of it. I tend to end up trashing furniture kits so don't really do them anymore lol x

      Thank you Ali, I was going down that road, too, but gritting teeth and knowing I used to be able to do it in the past, I really wanted to do this.

    The table looks great Elly...mhh, I see a kitty swinging on the chandelier trying to decide if the table will be a good landing place ;-)
