"Eternal Love"

Shop Now! Now Available at MyAmericanCrafts this evocative wall art  "Eternal Love" by Tree of Life ArtWorks.

The sun and moon, eternally bound in the heavens, gazing down on all of us who pledge the same to our partners. Rendered in resin scrimshaw and set in a beautifully detailed black resin chip carved frame. 

Historically, scrimshaw is a nautical engraving art indigenous to America. Sailors on board whaling ships "scrimmed" designs on whale teeth and bones using a sharp tool (It actually was coined a thrifty waste of time). Ink or oil and soot were then rubbed into the cuts and wiped away to reveal the incised image. Tree of Life incorporates this basic process but instead of ivory, hand-cast resin is used, insuring sharp, detailed images from an eco-friendly resource.
