BoC Penguin

[Kelvin Burton]

This is my 4th year to contribute to the Beads of Courage program at SWAT. This year I made a "tippy toy" Penguin that is a hollow form from Sycamore. The head comes off allowing a child to add or remove their beads easily. I tested it with over 5 lbs of glass beads and the fuller it gets the more stable it becomes. It's hand painted with white acrylic and black gesso and sprayed with Satin Deft.

That is very cute. I'll be there, so maybe we will see each other.

[Dennis Ford]

Very nice work; both the turning and the paint job. Creative design also (I have learned to expect that from you).

[Thomas Canfield]

Looks like another winner. Sure makes my offering look simple.
