Obviously, I'm not part of your contest, but here's some (mostly) old, and varied stuff I've done, as a visual example for anyone interested.

Not in as I don't have the time really, but here is my first (and only) piece I've made.

Those are fantastic work there, Enigma, or should I say Kevin?

Particularly like the clear one with the Band-Aid on the finger.....LOL...Keeps it real.
Good luck to all....

It is a good thing for every artist to have an audience........I'm a real good audience.

I attempted to work a piece of milky quartz last night, but it just crumbled into smaller pieces.
I have a bunch of old glass bottles that I will try next.
Pretty easy to make points from metal (for me) so this knapping thing is quite the challenge.

Cool one I saw a few years ago was made from the broken tail light of a Model T. It was a small bird point, but pretty cool for what it was made from.
