Carved Dark Red Bakelite Dragon Pin

Here is the second pin that I have carved in this design, the earlier one carved from tequila sunrise colored Bakelite and this one from a dark red.  This detailed dragon is one of my nicest drake designs and features individually carved scales, feathers and a green Swarovski rhinestone for an eye.  The pin measures 3 inches at the longest measurement and has a quality vintage brass pin component attached to the back with rivets and epoxy.  My signature and the date are inscribed on the back as well.

Carved Bakelite Zodiac Aries Ram Pin

 Here is a definitely unique and one of a kind Bakelite pin carved in my own design of the Zodiac Aries ram.  This pin is constructed and carved from vintage Bakelite materials, utilizing a gorgeous cobalt blue for the main body of the ram and emerald green for the curled tail.  I also used white Bakelite for the horn and brown and black for the eye.  The pin is a substantial average thickness of 3/8 of an inch and measures right at 3 inches long at the longest measurement.  The cobalt blue and green have some translucency in sunlight.  I attached a nice nickel silver bar pin component onto the back and the pin hangs nicely when worn.  My signature and the date are inscribed onto the back also.

Blue Moon Bakelite Kitty Playing a Fiddle Pin

Here is a handsome blue moon Bakelite kitty cat playing a fiddle pin. The blue moon is nicely swirled and into that I inlaid some light blue for the cat's nose/mouth area, some yellow and black for the eyes, swirling brown for the fiddle and a golden orange Bakelite bow. The pin measures right at 2 & 3/4 inches long, which is smaller than the orangey pink version of this design that I have for sale. I attached a nice solid nickel silver pin component onto the back and inscribed my signature and the date as usual.

Price....$200.00

Tequila Sunrise Dragon Pin

This has been a popular design and one that I felt I should carve out of this particular piece of marbled tequila sunrise Bakelite. The color play in this material was too nice to carve anything but a spectacular dragon out of. The dragon is extremely detailed with individual scales and feathers. I embedded a dark ruby red Swarovski rhinestone for an eye and attached a solid nickel silver bar pin component on the back where I've also inscribed my signature and the date. The pin measures 3 & 3/8 inches at the longest measurement and is well over 1/4 inch thick in most areas.

Price....$500.00

Black and White Bakelite Killer Whale Pin

Here he is....Free Willy....or not. In any case this is a mighty handsome pin made from vintage black and white Bakelite depicting the killer whale. The white Bakelite is inlaid into the black and then a sparkling glass Swarovski rhinestone for the eye. This is a nice sized pin at almost 3 & 3/4 inches in length. The polish makes the shiny Bakelite appear almost wet. A nice big solid nickel silver pin component is attached to the back and the pin hangs very nicely when worn.

Multicolored Bakelite Dancing Fish

This is one of my favorite whimsical designs of the year, a dancing fish...all dressed up and ready to entertain. Carved entirely from
vintage Bakelite, this pin took quite some time and effort to construct as it is made up of over 10 individual pieces cut to fit one
another and inlaid into the base which is a gorgeous marbled light blue Bakelite. The fish measures just under 4 inches in length and
has a nickel silver pin component secured to the back with rivets. I wore this pin recently at a show that I attended in Texas and
everyone loved it.

Price...$450.00

Bakelite Scottish Terrier Soldier Drummer

This is one of my earlier pins and is one of the very few pieces that I created which is a reproduction of a vintage Bakelite design. The
pin is a Scottish Terrier in Civil War style Union cap and playing a drum with his movable arm, attached with a brass rivet through the
front. The dog's drum, drum-sticks, cap, tail, eye and nose are all painted with high quality enamel paints. The pin measures a bit
over 2 1/2 inches in length and has a gold plated pin component secured to the back with rivets. My signature and the date are
inscribed upon the back also.
