Default Re: hey from las vegas!

thank you so much for the kind words,warm welcome,and wisdom!

i work with a combo of lines and stippling,i use a pin vise,and a sewing needle. to ink my work,i use windsor newton black oil paint.useing qtips and kleenex to wipe away the excess paint.

i have'nt many pieces under my belt yet,and i plan on continuing to learn scrim.
i have thought about bullino,but as of yet have'nt tried it. i only have a small area at my tattoo shop in which to work,and a combination of optivisor and reading glasses for magnification. i would eventually,like to purchase a ball vise,and a microscope to work with,i am sure they would make it all so much easier and steadier for me. also,i'd like to learn more about the grs engravers as they are applied to scrimshaw.

again,i thank you for the warm welcome and look forwatrd to learning and sharing more!
all the best! -fed
