Baby sailor's first scrimshaw! My inspirations were 19th century Aivilingmiut, Wampanoag, and Anglo-American examples I saw at the New Bedford Whaling Museum this summer, as well as the ones in the #scrimshaw tag on this blog.

Capturing that sweet, nostalgic magic of childhood days gone by ⚓️✨There is something so incredibly heartwarming about vintage children's illustrations — the classic sailor collars, the innocent curiosity, and, of course, a loyal little pup watching your every move with absolute devotion. Stitching this piece felt like reading an old storybook on a rainy afternoon, dreaming of tiny sailboats and endless summer adventures. 🌊🐶🤍

If I had a ship, I'd sail my ship,

I'd sail my ship through Eastern seas;

Down to a beach where the slow waves thunder...

And I'd say to myself as I looked at the sea:

“There's nobody else, and the world is for me!".

- by A. A. Milne
