Having more and more fun cutting and doing things with this acrylic...
I figured how to use clear to lift the black up off of the base by making a negative of the bottom and then glueing them together.... Both black and clear are 1/4" (+/- their tolerance thicknesses). Cherry base created by a local shop - found it to be just as cheap as catalogs and quality is a lot better - no stamp from Mexico/Polanesia/China - etc....
On the eagle, all 1/8" - I found the 1/8" mirror cheaper from local provider along with the colors. The eagle pieces were literally left overs... 1/8" black background solid. White and yellow cut to shape and glued on...
Just glad that all my Christmas orders were filled by yesterday and I had time to play....
