Ha! There's no need for me to cover up my "Map of Tasmania" now. I'll be showing it off proudly in public!

(thank you Amanda for being an inspiration)

Thank you so much for the compliment! I want to make a pair of earrings too. Actually, I have a few ideas bouncing around in my head. (i am completly a aadd person)

 And thank you for posting the image! I forget how to post them. I know you click the insert image icon and paste the link, but there is something else that needs done to get it to show.

Awesome!

How long did it take you to make the earrings/necklace?

I think about 10-12 min of hand work per charm.

All the steps put together from start to finish, I would say I could complete 1 piece in an hour and a half. (When I etch the design I do many pieces at a time.)

I am using hand tools at the moment and draw the designs freehand.

is that a hunk of alabaster?  the veins are awesome.  the jewelry is cool too, i don't mean to not notice it; the lettering is fantastic.  any kind of piercework or etching is difficult, and this looks really good.

thats a gorgeous piece of rock, though.
