Who is eating my Cheese?

So after cutting the Indonesian Tube Agate it was finally time to complete a project that was started about a month ago. And just in time (more or less) for yesterdays B'day of my older daughter.

As the agate pretty much looks like a cheese with all those tubes, all I needed, was reshaping the cab to make it more appealing,

front and back


and I needed a mouse.
done a few weeks back made of the local magnetic material found in HK. (still don't know what it is)


Had to reshape the back of the mouse to fit the Agate. As the agate is covered in sharp edges, it was impossible to make it a good solid fit. Plus, any inserting would leave an ugly black spot if worn in reverse.

Solution: take a hammer and smash up some waste-material. Splice bigger pieces between the mouse and the agate. Cover lightly in epoxy and sprinkle with agate dust. Repeat the epoxy, agate-dust 4 times and there you have it. Now the black stone can't be seen at all and it looks like an additional druzy filling part of the cavity.


Now finally we need another piece of cheese for the mouse to snack on, and we got the finished pendant

And worn by my usual victim


Thanks for looking, any suggestions for other solutions in the future would be highly welcome as I'm likely to run into problems like that more often......

Best regards, Kurt
