Carved Vegetable Ivory Owl on Moon Button
This is a button which I designed and carved two different versions of, the first carved from bone. This, the second of the two, is carved from a nice light tan vegetable ivory. The owl has eyes made of inlaid bakelite and its beak and feet/talons are carved from orange helmet shell. The button measures a hair under 1 1/4 inches making it an NBS medium, and it has a self shank carved onto the back where I've also inscribed my signature and the date.

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.

The lizard's eyes are inlaid black bakelite. The button measures a bit under 1 1/4 inches and has a self shank carved onto the bottom where I've also inscribed my signature and the date.
