My First Scrimshaw
Inspired by all those marvelous old artworks I saw in all those seaports. This is a rough old bone bead recycled from an old necklace. I seem to have lost my drypoint needle so used a book binding needle which does not really suffice. But I love the technique. I have located polished tagua nut slices and those are far more sustainable. Will order those for future scrimshaw projects and incorporate them into my collages.
This bead is a little less than 2 inches long.
