It’s a chatbook that shows about three years of my scrimshawing. I’m testing out Chatbooks as a means to cataloging the boxes (and boxes, and boxes!) of photos we’ve accumulated from those who have passed on. Digital books are handy and easy to share, but printed books are a great way to share with family and friends. If you’d like to create your own chatbook, click here: http://invite.chatbooks.com/andrewperkins5c3. This will get you a $10 discount and give me a $10 credit toward creating my family albums and future scrimshaw chat books. Their web advertisements are very entertaining, too – if you need a laugh, go to https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=chatbooks+commercial.
Andrew, I hope you read these. I was inspired to do scrimshaw again. I had done some years ago but some were pretty lame excuses as I learned. I worked Ivory from back when we lived in Alaska and antler. This time I tried Tagua Nut and bought the scribe you recommend from Coulter Precision (before I just used a sharpened scribe from my garage). My 1st 3 have turned out great and would love to get your critique of them. I can post them on my rock website or send them Email.
Hi Steven, and thanks for writing! I truly enjoy scrimshaw. My hands are feeling their age, yet I still enjoy working the art. I’d love to see what you’ve done. If you can, send the pics to “questions@scrimshaw.com” – that way I should get them in my regular email. I’ve had mixed results with tagua nut, I’m sure I’ll try it again since I have a bunch. It can be tricky stuff, and I look forward to seeing your work.
