I started with some Blood Wood scraps in my hand on the way to toss them and some of it kind of looked like a flower petal. I made it and coated it with epoxy, which wasn't a good idea, won't do that again. I wanted to get a more natural looking surface, didn't come out as I hoped. It looked pretty sad. I redid some of it, still didn't like it. My wife said "Why don't you put a butterfly on it" I did, 2 of them.

Ron, looks darn good from here. 

that is some kind extra fine...

I love it when you go digging around in your scrap bin with the intent of tossing something away! You always see something in those scraps that turns into a one of a kind piece of art! Amazing vision Ron! Thanks!

Nice "scraps" , very creative.Wife had a good idea!

Ron, you are too hard on yourself ,you came up with a winner and your wife had a very creative idea which gave the piece that extra touch.

"it's not scrap, it's cut-offs awaiting the right project."   (repeat 3x)

Very inventive and I like the add on also

Ron I've seen flowers that even with help could not look that good.  Great use of those scraps.
