Hi there,
my name is Michelle and I'm a new member posting from New Zealand.
I'm an artist and scrimshander with an interest in learning to engrave the custom knives that I do scrimshaw on..

Michelle,

Really nice work! I am intrigued at the ability to color scrim!

What is the size of the portrait? The frame makes it look huge.

Mike
