Swan Flying Antler Button

This is my second "Swan Flying" Button.
This guy is going westbound.

This piece is carved from an EXCEPTIONAL piece of shed Moose antler.
I have been holding this material back for some time,
as it is very dense, and lends itself well to detail,
and durability.
I carved his eye, and beak, as well.

Speaking of detail,
I got all carried away again,
and ended up carving over seventy
feathers on this little guy.

Now I don't usually duplicate myself,
But one of my best customers told me
that she hadn't wanted to bid against one of my other good customers,
so I decided to carve another.
Now don't get used to this.
If I go carving multiples a lot,
what's to encourage comepetitive bidding?
I mean, That's the whole point
of me starting my auctions so ridiculously low.

   I am gearing up for my biggest "Brick-and-mortar" show of the year,
in Dallas in April and May.
And I need to get busy with my real bread and butter work.
I will be posting some of my jewelry in my store,
At full retail prices.
You will see what I am used to charging for my work.
For example,
if I was to offer a pendant,
of this quality in my Shop,
I would have to request about 78-90 dollars.
If my regular customers knew about my Ebay sales,
I would catch an earfull,
I'll tell you.
