    This had a lot of techniques I'd never heard of or even imagined before! The lace for engraving is truly inspired. One thing you might want to consider: If you're struggling with brush marks, try a piece of makeup sponge (or any fine sponge), dipping it in paint and patting it on instead of spreading, either from the start or on top of brushed-on paint. It might not look like much at first, but doing several layers and sealing it under a coat of varnish can give you a pretty smooth surface! I've had especially good luck pinching the piece of sponge with tweezers.
