Default My Name Tag

Hi All, I made myself a basswood name tag for when I go to our local woodcarver's club workshop meetings. Their the 'Wood Bee Carver's' cute name huh--we meet twice a month.
I used basswood scraps for the whole thing--even a scrap glass bead. I painted everything with acrylic's.
Thanks for looking....
Kathy

Kewel nametag Kathy. One with a bee coming out of the wood would be neat also. But yours is so Kewel!

They are fun projects.

Thanks Rick, I wasn't quite sure what I was doing--would have been great to have you around while I was working on this one.

You will most definitely be a hit at the next meeting!!!

This made me think about the boy scout nekerchief slides since so many different themed slides have been carved. If you had the time wouldn't it be neat to have a different nametag for every meeting.

Kenny, you quack me up 'a wood bee' yuck, yuck, yuck.

Dave, not sure I could stand the pace--fun idea though. I think I'll add a 'woodbee' to the next one as Kenny recommended.

Bart, thank you I really enjoyed carving the tools. My imagination was running wild thinking of all kinds of carving tools that one could add. Yeah, I wanted them to look somewhat like my tools.

Thank you all for looking.
Kathy
