My attempt at a Beads of Courage box, a little to "busy" looking, but that happens when you go to a Dixie Biggs carving class and get carried a way.
Wood is Tupelo Gum, and is light as a butterfly. The butterflies are relief carved and painted with markers, dyes, auto paint and what ever i could grab. the finish is Odie's Oil. The beads are left over Mardi Gras beads.
Hopefully this will put a smile on some kid face, who is having a crappy day, even a small smile would be great.
