Default Scrimshaw Dragon... in color!

Wow, color scrim is quite challenging, and time-consuming! This is my first attempt a "proper" full color scrim (I have another in progress that I deliberately did backwards...light to dark instead of dark to light). I did this one working from dark to light (black-red-yellow ochre) but had to do a bunch of touch-up in between. Still learning, but I am really happy with how this turned out so I had to share. :D







multicolor scrimshaw on vintage pre-ban elephant ivory
sterling silver bail and sterling silver 2mm 18 inch wheat chain
It's 1-1/8 by 1-5/8 inches at its widest points, and 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick (it tapers)
