~ Carved Bakelite 2 Squirrels with Nuts Bracelet ~
I've been watching squirrels pick my pecan tree clean all fall so far, thinking that it was about time to design another bracelet featuring the little critters but until now I'd not gotten around to doing so. All of my other squirrel bracelet designs have included lots of oak leaves and limbs as well as the squirrels so I decided to go a different route with my new design. Carved from a gorgeously marbled brown vintage bakelite/catalin, my new bracelet features two handsome squirrels with acorns in their mouths. I reversed the squirrels so that one is right side up while the other is upside down, this way the bracelet can be put on from either side. The brown bracelet base has an awesome mix of creamy browns which worked out just right to make one squirrel a bit darker brown than the other (the color is most accurately shown in the second set of pictures). The acorns are inlaid using a very lighter brown/tan for the caps and a dark cocoa brown for the nuts. The squirrels' eyes are black bakelite. These little boogers have picked my pecan tree clean and are now busy stuffing their nests with dried leaves in preparation for the coming winter. This is an awesome bracelet that turned out even better than I had hoped for, it will be a great piece to wear year round and is bound to draw a lot of attention. The bracelet has very thick walls at nearly 5/8 of an inch in some places. The width of the walls is right at 1 1/4 inches and the inner diameter is a bit over 2 1/2 inches. If the winning bidder needs a wider opening to fit their hand through, I can enlarge this one about another 1/8 inch. The inner surface is polished and has my signature and the date inscribed.
If you are a regular watcher of my auctions, please note that I will be taking most (possibly all) of next week off from ebay in order to work on a kitchen addition.....see you in about a week & 1/2!
