I was so impressed with these lamps that I've become a
distributor for Verilux. These are LED lights that illuminate a
small area very well with natural spectrum and no flicker.
Perfect for carvers, wood burners, travelers and for use in
mobile vehicles. They come with a power cord and a USB
adaptor. They weigh just under 2 pounds and cost $29.95.
Satisfaction guaranteed.
Shipping for the lamp alone is $7.00 since doesn't fit into the
flat-rate small box.

Carving hummingbirds, dragonflies and butterflies as I do I have long enjoyed using iridescent paints to bring out the
shimmer in these carvings. So many people asked me over the years how they could find these paints that I decided to
carry them myself. It is easier for me to order a bunch of them and provide them for my students/customers than it is for
them to order them one at a time. I am offering them at the normal retail prices- plus shipping if you are ordering them
online.
These paints come in a handy carrying case of 6 different iridescent colors (blue, gold, green, red, turquoise, & violet) that
allow you to add sparkle to all your animal and other carving projects. $15.00
