Gin Island Lighthouse Ornament

$35.00

A beautiful keepsake of an incredibly beautiful place.

A little history of the Lighthouse: Located within the Georgian Bay Islands National Park, the Gin Island Lighthouse stands as a rare surviving example of a late 19th-century combined wooden light tower and keeper's dwelling. The lighthouse itself was moved from the Gin Islands off Beasoleil Island to Brebeuf Island in 1900.

Lightkeeper William J. Baxter, who had tended the light on Gin Rock since 1882, moved along with the building and continued serving at Brébeuf Island until 1931.

This 3 inch round ornament is printed by hand, by the artist (me) from an original oil painting by Barbara Simmons using a sublimation process onto MDF. Sublimation prints are lightweight, durable and detailed, with vibrant colour.

Each is finished with genuine Amazonite stone beads and silver wire.

Image is printed front and back, with my web address printed on the back.
