I have always loved cars. I remember driving around with my dad when I was a kid spotting corvettes and ferraris on the road. I used to LOVE going to car shows at the Palmer Auditorium. I go to the first-saturday hot rod nights at Top Notch every chance I get.

A couple months ago I found a box of die cast models from mine and my brother's childhood and I decided to use them as canvases for my bead art. This is a Ferrari Dino. Its pretty small, only 10” long, the beading process took a little over 3 days.
