With the eclipse coming, I wondered if I could turn something that depicts the eclipse. After considering several possibilities, this is what I came up with.

The "earth" disk is hazelnut with texturing provided by mini features created with the Infinite Axis Chuck. It is about 3" diameter finished with shellac. The texturing represents mountains, rivers and landscape features.

The "moon" disk is walnut with texturing provided by mini features created with the Infinite Axis Chuck. It is about 1 1/2" diameter finished with shellac. The texturing resembles the man in the moon.

On the back is a clip called a finding. This one is from Fire Mountain Gems called something like a necklace and broach finding.

Have a fun time with the eclipse.

Remember the Christmas Ornament Challenge submission period is November. Plan your ornament now.
