Scrimshaw Addiction

Thirsty Lioness Scrimshaw

This lioness is my next choice. The Mammoth Ivory has deep cracks, but it still deserves to be Scrimshawed. It weighs 77 grams and measures 8cm wide x 6.5cm high, which should be a nice compact piece.

Step 1 – 24/2/20

This picture shows the Ivory polished and ready for the picture to be attached so the outline can be cut. It has a few cracks but that should be alright.

Step 2 – 24/2/20

This picture shows the picture attached to the Ivory ready for the outline to be cut.

Step 3 – 24/2/20

This picture shows the outline cut and black oil paint applied. I’ve also added the black areas.

Step 4 – 26/2/20

Here’s the finished scrimshaw. I’ll move on to the stand next.

Step 7 – 29/2/20

I’m not sure what the wood I’ve used for the base is, I found it lying around. I’ve made the nameplate from Mammoth Ivory.

The End.
