1. Sand the tray and mirror frame with Super Film and wipe with the tack cloth to remove dust. Apply sealer/ finisher following manufacturer’s instructions and let dry. 2. Basecoat both sides of mirror frame (excluding rim right next to mirror and concave routed edge) and entire top of tray with three coats of EG—allow drying time and sand with Super Film between the first and second coat, but do not sand between the second and third coat. Basecoat sides and bottom of tray in the same manner with AG. Paint the rim next to the mirror EMG, then stripe as shown in the color photo with BLK. If desired, glue the mirror into the frame at this time as finishing could build up and prevent the mirror from setting in easily later on. Base the concave routed edge of the mirror frame PS, then stripe with FM. Paint the outside routed edge going all the way around the mirror frame AG and allow to dry. 3. Apply another coat of AG to bottom of tray and, while still wet, slip slap a small amount of MG randomly onto this area. Stipple with a crumpled piece of plastic wrap and let dry. Note: The side edges are left plain AG.Painting
Note: Read through all directions thoroughly before proceeding. Refer to the color photo and color worksheet as you paint. When transferring patterns to the surface, transfer the least amount of detail as necessary. For example, transfer only the main pattern lines for the ferns and daisy petals. This keeps your strokes smoother and you will not have to be concerned with covering all the transfer lines.

I see that the project mentions referring to a pattern, but I don’t see where to download the actual pattern. Am I missing something? Thank you for proving these projects. I’m glad I found you.
