a few scrimshaw pieces on Mother of Pearl

Mother of Pearl "MOP" is a great deal more difficult to engrave than ivory.  It's a hard and brittle surface, and is dis-inclined to want to have a lot of engraved marks very close to each other without the surface just sort of chipping off.  But it IS rather beautiful!  :-)

  11. Engraving on Mother of Pearl (MOP) is challenging due to its hard and brittle nature, making close engraving prone to chipping. However, it is a beautiful material for scrimshaw art, as seen in works like "Cloud Runner", a Gypsy horse engraving that won third place at the Art at the Classic Show in 2013. Other stunning pieces include a koi pendant and a multicolor swan pendant, both set in sterling silver, showcasing the intricate scrimshaw technique on MOP masterfencerental.com/

  12. Mother of pearl is indeed a stunning material, but its hardness and brittleness can make engraving a challenge. It's impressive to see the skill and precision required to create intricate designs on such a delicate surface.
