~ Carved Pink Bakelite Christmas Tree Pin ~
This past week while I had a nice new Christmas tree pin listed on ebay an long time customer contacted me and suggested that I create another tree that is a little less traditional in appearance. I came up with a couple of different ideas but the one that I decided to go with was this one....of course carved entirely from vintage bakelite/catalin, a lovely pink Christmas tree with a large disc of nicely marbled alabaster bakelite behind it, something like a large full moon with snow swirling across it. The tree is a gorgeous shade of marbled pink bakelite and has red bakelite roping inlaid across it, a yellow bakelite starburst on top (which has fine flakes of glittering silver inside of it), and dark emerald green bakelite Christmas ornaments inlaid as well. The green ornaments are of the same bakelite as what I made the last tree from and has tiny glittering gold dust inside of them, they're also fairly translucent which makes them look a lot like dark green glass ornaments. The trunk is also bakelite, marbled dark brown inlaid from the back side. I used a bit of darker pink enamel wash to darken the finer carved details in the tree and also to add some shadows here and there. The disc of alabaster behind the tree has swirls of while, cream and some reddish browns in it. This lovely tree pin is definitely a one of a kind and measures about 4 inches tall. It hangs very nicely from a nickel silver pin component secured to the back, where I also inscribed my signature and the date.
If you are a regular watcher of my auctions please note that I will be taking most of next week off to work on a kitchen addition to the house.
