Default Re: Scrimshaw Dragon... in color!

Thanks Alf and Rich!

Rich, I am using etching ink. The first few scrims I did with oil paint, and that works fine particularly for single-color stuff, but it seems like the etching ink has more "sticking power" and is less likely to inadvertently wipe off. After all, this is what it's designed to do. I know other scrimshanders use India ink but personally I just didn't care all that much for using it when I tried a little sample piece.
