Made 27 of these for an October 06 swap. These are all made using Tim Holz's fragment technique. Mounted on little matboards that were embossed with dichromatic powders and sprayed with moonglow. The polymer fragments rubbed with pearl ex then sealed. They look a little like abalone shell. Lots easier than it looks but it takes lots of time. Could glue a pinback to fragment and wear as pin. All 27 a little different - so am posting seven here as examples.

Of course, I made one for you!
Forgot to mention, some of these backgrounds are laminate samples - Home Depot now has a large size that clips neatly in two - to perfectly sized ATC's.
