Carving hummingbirds, dragonflies and butterflies as I do I have long enjoyed using iridescent paints to bring out the shimmer in
these carvings. Many students have asked me over the years how they could find these paints, so I decided to carry them myself.

you to add sparkle to all your animal and other carving projects. $15.00
