Occasionally I like to dabble in different creative areas other than painting, and working with wood is one of those areas. These are Bearded Collie pins, made from various exotic hardwoods, and they are for sale. They were cut from 1/8" thick wood, sanded to an ultra smooth finish, and then waxed and buffed. The pin back was attached with a strong glue. The standing Beardies measure a little under 2" wide overall and 1 1/2" high, and the moving Beardies measure approx 2 1/4" wide and 1" high. The woods used for these pins are cocobolo, honduras rosewood, padauk, and purpleheart. Please note it is normal for some colour change to occur over time as the wood is exposed to sunlight, with most becoming slightly darker/browner.
Pins are $35 each, plus $3 shipping within North America, or $6 for shipping Internationally. I will have these with me at the BCCC specialty in August if someone prefers to pick one up in person and save the shipping. Though I may do more of these in the future from time to time, they will remain an 'occasional' item at best so if you like them, get one now! Contact me if you are interested.
