Paddle Keychain :)

My keys were either lost or stolen last year.  I think they were accidentally stolen, or that is what I'm hoping, and that they weren't purposefully taken.  We had four paramedics in our house that night near where I keep my keys, and hoping they fell into one of their bags by mistake.  Anyway, I had a new set of keys made up, and new locks, and decided today I needed a keychain in case they ever get lost again so I can say what is on the keychain.  I know, I should have done it a year ago. :) 

So tonight I made up the Neapolitan ice cream popsicle out of perler beads because I literally had no idea what to use, and then when I saw it a bit later, thought it looked a bit like a paddle.  So I sat down to kind of design one.  I'll tell people it's a fudgesicle, because I made it to look like one a bit, but to anyone on here, it's a paddle. ;)  I did the two tones of brown to represent grains in the wood a wooden paddle would have.  I really like it, and I like that I can secretly have a symbol of our lifestyle on me.  :)  I am so excited about it. :)  Now not to freak out whenever my Dad takes my keys if he needs our car. :P

Here is the front of it, and the bottom is the back view of it where the perler beads are melted flat. :)  The paddle is only about half an inch longer than a standard house key, so the perfect size for what I wanted.  The light reflected weird, but there is only three shades of brown in it.  I felt I had to use a different brown for the handle to believably pass it off as a fudgesicle, but we all know the truth. ;)
