Beauty (not the horse)

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder," so they say.  Well one of the most beautiful creatures of nature is often seen in the summer as they fly from flower to flower.  I tried to capture this fleeting spirit in this sign.  I cut the sign from 1/4" maple wood and cut the butterflies at an angle on the scroll saw so they would project off the word BEAUTY.  I coated the butterflies with a dark stain before reinserting them back into their openings.  I then cut a rather winding top layer for the base and mounted the whole shebang on top of a slab of teak to complete the project.  Hope you like it. The free pattern is available for download on my Free Pattern Page:http://baggetta.com/pebooks/puzzle_patterns.htm
