    SWAT Beads of Courage box

    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.

    Wonderful job Larry. You really put some heart into that it appears.
    Laugh at least once daily, even if at yourself!
