Hi All. Since I haven't posted new stuff in AGES I thought I'd show you something REALLY new. I'm still doing lots of scrimshaw on ivory of course, but have been branching out and taking some new roads lately too. Among those things has been to do a little more work on Mother of Pearl.
This one will be shown at an art show next month.
"Cloud Runner"
7/8 by 2-1/2 inches
Years ago I did a color piece on MOP, and swore I'd never do it again. :beatup: But then I decided I'd rather figure it out than let it beat me, so I tried again:
swan pendant
1-1/4 inches diameter
Worked out rather well! It's a whole different beast than ivory, for sure, and is MUCH more difficult to work with, but hey, it can be done! :banana:
