Background/Story
Scrimshaw button by artist, as known as Wahaba.
She can do these drawings with her inscribing tool without making a preliminary line sketch. She can do it at the request of someone standing in front of her.
Peggy Mathes
MOST of her buttons have a gray putty at the base of the shank. I’ve always assumed it to be “PC-7” which is a putty-like epoxy that one buys at your local hardware store.
