The store we work at is Corrington’s Alaska Ivory. During the past few months I have become fascinated by ivory, so I bought some and have been working to create ivory jewelry. I have been blessed that a guy named Bruce Schindler (who is a wonderful ivory carver) has been very generous with his time, knowledge and equipment. And Dennis Corrington, who owns the store, has been really supportive, providing tons of information and encouragement, as well as offering to market my product. So today is a red-letter day – I sold my first piece of ivory earrings! These are simple pendent earrings, made from old walrus ivory.
