Smile blue ribbon
I got a blue ribbon, "best in show" for my Indigo blue bunting, this was at the county fair in chattanooga. Not a big wood carving show, but made me proud just the same. I made the daisys from brown paper bag, and stems from brass tubing, feet from copper wire with ribbon epoxy. the bunting from basswood

Hey Errol,

Congrat's! Glad to see that you got the brass tubing worked out, and the colors on the bunting. Looks like you've done another great job!

Thanks for sharing - keep it up!
