Carved Vegetable Ivory Christ Crowned with Thorns Button

This is another special button depicting Christ crowned with thorns.   This button is carved from vegetable ivory and has a nice brown color.  The thorny crown has small pieces of brass rod inset as the thorns.   The button is very nicely detailed and is a button which I've created a mold of in order to reproduce it in other castable materials.  The button measures right at 1 1/2 inches at the longest measurement.  It has a self shank carved onto the back and my signature and the date inscribed there as well.

The Jet is fossil charcoal mined in the Lake Bakal region of Siberia, it is very similar in quality to the famous Whitby jet from England. The boots are realistically carved and measure just under 1 1/4 inches. I carved a self shank onto the back and inscribed my signature and the date.

Carved Vegetable Ivory Great White Shark Button

Here is a button that I carved out of a piece of vegetable ivory or tagua nut.  This is a great white shark carved in detail, down to some teeny, teeny, tiny teeth.  The eye is a inlaid piece of black cow horn and the deeper carved lines on the shark have been lightly dyed with black show that they will show up better.  The button ha a nice self shank carved onto the back, where there is a line in the material that appears to be a crack but is actually in the material itself.  This button is one that I carved in my first year of button carving and is dated April 20, 2004.  The longest measurement is 1 & 1/2 inches.

Carved Vegetable Ivory Mechanical Dice Button

This great little button is one that I carved from vegetable ivory with a clear bakelite/catalin top and inside are four loose bone dice (which I also carved).  The clear bakelite/catalin top is carved to be convex (concave inside of course) to allow the dice to rattle around smoothly.  Due to the concave nature of the inside of the clear piece, the dice appear a bit skewed when they are close to the edges of the button.  They "rattle around" nicely and make for lots of fun...  The button measures a bit less than 1 1/4 inches in diameter, ha a self shank carved onto the back and my signature and the date inscribed there as well.
