Last year, at one of my shows, I was introduced to an incredibly talented scrimshander. Even more surprising than her work is the fact that we live 15 minutes from each other! I had seen several very nice examples of scrimshawed pens, all made by folks outside of the US, where I cannot send natural ivory materials. We traded ideas and worked out some details and came up with these three as the first batch.
You can see more of Jane's work at - Home. Her work is even more amazing in person!
All elephant ivory is certified antique ivory, purchased from museum stocks. Mammoth ivory is not subject to restrictions.
First up, Elephant on Elephant.
Second is a 17th century Dutch Whaler on a Mammoth Ivory panel inset in Irish Bog Oak, on a Jr Emperor.
Third is my prize (and if it never sells, I'm OK with that!), Chinese Dragon on Mammoth, modified Statesman with custom finials, top scrimshawed with the Chinese character for "Dragon".
My ace salesman (and son), took the pictures for me.
Since taking the pictures, we have added polished 18K JoWo nibs to both of the fountains
Hope you like them,
Jon
