Scrimshaw moose and horse pendants

[KatherinePlumer]

Hello everyone! I hope everyone who celebrates Christmas had a merry one!

These are two pendants I did that had a Christmas deadline. The horse is a Gypsy Horse (Gypsy Cob, Gypsy Vanner) colt that belongs to a good friend of mine. Her husband commissioned the pendant for her. I made the moose for my mom, she likes mooses. Both are 18x25mm pre-ban elephant ivory cabochons, mounted in sterling silver.

Here's to a Happy 2008 for all of us!

[KatherinePlumer]

Thanks!

Brian, I had not even considered going to visit the show in Reno (duh!) That's not a bad idea. If the weather is good enough to drive there then perhaps I will. Hmmm.

BEAUTIFUL WORK!! Katherine, you continue to be such an inspiration to me! Love what you do! I'm hoping to try scrimshaw once I get beyond some health issues. I know I would love it. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us!

Blessings for a wonderful New Year!

i've seen lots of scrim. yours has a quality that most do not posess. maybe the word is delicate, i'm not sure, but for sure your work is great to look at !

Thank you so much everyone! I've got a big smile on my face.

Brian P- I'll let you in on my photography secret... these are all scanned! Of course it wouldn't work for a larger item with a lot of depth (like a knife) but for these little items I just place on them on the flatbed scanner with some sort of interesting mat board/leather scrap/fabric/ball of yarn/etc behind them and scan them. I tried taking some photos but as tiny as these things are my camera really could not do justice to the detail.

Very nice katherine! I like the way you have framed them, scrimming in the oval. I especially like the moose!
I look forward to seeing more of your scrim!
