Horning in, again

#1

So, of course, I’m pushing my various boundaries and experiences. I picked up an ox horn comb (which a single use makes me wonder why I’ve been using plastic crap my entire life, let me tell you).

So I chased it with ink:

I really like the results, and I’m certainly not going back to plastic.

Wow! That’s stunning with the ink! :grinning:

#3

Going to lay hands on more horn, to be sure. Now to play with some bone.

#4

This is great. Did you have to accommodate for the comb teeth in the design?

#5

Naughty me, I just dropped the design right on the comb and burned.

#6

I like it!

I find that Rit Dye makes good color fill on most items.

Going to have to try that. I’ve got some sharpies around, though I do have a couple bottles of carbon ink in my office.

Here’s hoping this isn’t your serial killer origin story.

#10

If it is, I’ll make it a unique one, to be sure.

:laughing: Well that’s what really matters. The only thing worse than ritualized murder is boring ritualized murder.

Exactly. Nothing boring about my plans.
