Scrimshaw



I have found a new obsession! I am starting a series that is influenced by the age old method of Scrimshaw. However, instead of using whale bones, I am etching into antique piano keys (pre-ban ivory).

Along with the scrimshaw pieces, I am incorporating vintage components. That way each piece is completely one of a kind!

So happiness to me right now is scrimshaw, some Tom Waits and a bottle of rum (gets me into a sailor/pirate kind of mentality)!
