Being too impatient to put in years of practice, I put in a couple weeks and came up with this copy. I used super thin mother of pearl, wood veneer, clear varnish.
It took me a couple of failed attempts. I learned a lot, I may redo it again if I get the energy, but it's not bad. Was fun, but took me at least 15 hours, if not more.
The picture isn't great, it looks better in person.
