Hello, my name is Viveca Sahlin.
Started with scrimshaw 1994 , "still going strong" and loves my work.
I make my scrimshaw with dots and tiny scratches with a very sharp needle. The coloring is made with artist oil color
There is more information how I make my scrimshaw in my book about scrimshaw, titled:
"Scrimshaw, nålgravyr på horn". (Swedish text)
Some other good books that deals with scrimshaw are:
by Steve
Paszkiewicz & Roger Schroeder.
by
Eva Halat, both in english and german.
Through the years have I made commisioned work for both knifemakers and scrimshawcollectors, in Sweden and other countries.
I have recieved a lot of attention from television, radio, news- and specalistpapers, and I'm very greatful for that.
