Scrimshaw Addiction

Scarletts Parrot Scrimshaw

This is my next Scrimshaw. I’ll be using a piece of fossil Mammoth ivory which weighs 128 grams and measures 6.5cm wide x 13cm high.

Step 1 – 7/6/21

This picture shows the Ivory polished and ready for the picture to be attached so the outline can be cut.

Step 2 – 7/6/21

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

Step 3 – 8/6/21

This picture shows the outline cut and black oil paint applied. Next, I will do the background.

Step 4 – 10/6/21

This picture shows the black background finished.

Step 5 – 12/6/21

This picture shows the finished scrimshaw. Next I’ll do the stand.

Step 6 – 14/6/21

This picture shoes the finished scrimshaw on a stand of Rosewood with a Mammoth Ivory name plate.

The End.
