Bamboo Tiles

I bought some Bamboo Tiles from ebay last night. I reaaaaaally wanted to try and make some pendants. I have everything else I need (that I know) and I have been looking for the tiles in art shops around here, but no-one seems to know what I am talking about - even if I bring a picture!

Anyway, this is what they look like:

And this is what I hope to make!

Jealous Much!
