Well, it seems the first photo was OK, so I'll send a couple more...a Dogwood blossom and a Magnolia blossom. The customer provided the ivory, cut and polished. The disks were diagonal slices from the tip of a small tusk that still has the cracks and scratches in the edges, and it really was pretty ivory. The disks averaged about 1-1/2" x 2" or so and were just under1/4" thick...I tend to do most of my scrim with just black because I like that traditional look....comments welcome....Thanks....James

Very nice!

The plain black works well with the 'vintage' looking ivory and it's slightly cracked edges.
