Yep. I bought my pieces at Stokade Supplies, which I believe has the standard pawn sizes.. the belts ended up being a little short to go all the way around the pawns, but still look good.

When I was in the process of cutting and glueing the pieces to wood, I broke the work up into multiple days, and lost a few pieces. Before the next day of workin' on the set, I had the brainchild of pawn belts, and so just threw the sparebits that i needed on the same sheet as the pawn belts. If I had been thinking in advance, the pawn belts would appear on the same same sheet with the rest of the suit.

The triangle markings on the back are designed to create a trianglular grid using offset rows of tiles...

Yep, I am interested in producing the 4 card suits as well, but it may take a little time. I am very busy and I would like to take some time to work on an entry in the latest competition.
