reversed scrimshaw

[laurie sullivan]

I could have photographed these separately, but I was in a hurry and I didn't set up the light box.

The material is buffalo horn and the kits are sierra. (rhodium and chrome). Scrimshaw on this material is a bit different. The lighthouse looks like it"s nighttime. I use a titanium white acrylic paint to highlight the etching. Please tell me what you think.

I would love to be able to see those in person. Look great. Did you put anything over the scrim to protect from wear?

Great work, of course, and I think the white on black on very dramatic!

Wow! I can turn a decent pen but can't touch that reversed scrimshaw. That takes a totally different talent. By the way beautiful work.
