Carved Bakelite Egyptian Pharaoh & Queen Pin
This is a drop dead gorgeous pin that I designed and carved to be a true
one of a kind art-jewelry collectible. The pin is a beautiful and
colorful representation of an Egyptian Pharaoh and his queen with a
setting sun and pyramid in the background. There are a many different
pieces carved and inlaid to construct the pin. The turquoise head-ware
for both figures is vintage bakelite, as is the brown of their bodies,
the queen's black hair, the off-white of their clothes, the marbled red
of the setting sun and the cream corn yellow of the pyramid. The white
of the clothes will yellow eventually for an nice aged appearance. The
pharaoh's gold crook/staff is gold plated metal, and the collars for
both figures are painted with high quality enamel paints (as are their
facial features). This awesome pin measures a bit over 3 1/4 inches
tall, has a nickel silver pin component secured to the back and my
signature and the date inscribed there as well. Don't
miss out on this one folks, the first person to contact me gets to add
it to their collection and chances are that there will never be another
like it.

Carved Laminated Bakelite Little Red School House Pin
This pin is a little red school house complete with golden orange
Bakelite bell in the little bell tower, clear applejuice windows (with a
small lad that I painted on the reverse of the window on the left) and
white Bakelite doors, steps and "SCHOOL" sign. The black roofs are also
Bakelite. Each individual part was carved to fit into the red Bakelite
base and then laminated into place. I inscribed the lines into the
windows to be filled with black enamel, making four pane windows (or for
those of you familiar with the terminology....windows with 4 lights).
This great looking pin is sure to be a hit this time of year
particularly but could easily be worn all year long. The longest
measurement, from top to bottom, is 2 & 3/4 inches. I attached a solid
nickel silver pin component onto the back and inscribed my signature and
the date.

Yummy Carved Bakelite Ice Cream Cone Pin Catalin
This yummy Bakelite pin is carved from two gorgeous colors of vintage
Bakelite. There's a great and chocolaty looking swirled brown for the
cone and a nicely marbled light lavender pink for the scoop of heaven on
top. I imagine this flavor to be........hmmm....either that Very Berry
Strawberry or the Pink Bubblegum. The brown makes a perfect cone that
reminds me of the chocolate sugar cones which I was always in a big
hurry to eat just so I could get to that bit of solid chocolate in the
bottom. Carved to fit each other and then laminated together, these
lovely Bakelite colors make a beautiful pin that almost makes you feel a
little bit cooler just looking at it..... The pin is very realistic in
detail, quite nicely polished and well put together. It measures 3 & 1/4
inches long and has a nice vintage brass pin component attached to the
back where I inscribed my signature and the date. This ice cream pin is
probably my favorite one that I've made so far.
