Re: Portrait Scrim
Amazing scrim, Ron! Excellent likeness, too. I'm a newbie, have a question for you or anyone who might know.
Many years ago, I worked as a scrimshander for a small jewelry owner...did legal elephant ivory (majority of material I worked on) and fossil ivories (a few pieces). We used mechanical metal 'pens' with tungsten-carbide tips. The tips were replaceable.
I had one of them for a long time after I quit that job, but lost it somewhere down through the years. Now, in the twilight of my life, my sister has sent me 8 old ivory piano key veneers to scrimshaw, and I find myself in need of one of those old engraving pens...any glues as to where I could find one?
Thanks!
Laurel
