Well we have a scrimshaw based arts and crafts day coming up
on 9/14 at 3:00 so I thought I ought to make sure everyone is up on what
scrimshaw actually is...
- Start with the basics by taking a quick peak at this wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrimshaw).
- Then swing through a Google Image search on scrimshaw for a lot of gorgeous examples of it.
- Finally, check out this artist’s website (http://www.gustavus.com/heidi/scrim.html) for a brief description of the art form from the perspective of a practitioner.
Now that you know a bit about scrimshaw, join us to
make your own (ivory soap though… not the real ivory).
