The Minnesota features a tree-lined lake with two people fishing, a loon on the water, and a textured outline of the State surrounding its nickname, "Land of 10,000 Lakes." The "Land of 10,000 Lakes" actually contains more than 15,000 such bodies of water whose total shoreline exceeds 90,000 miles - more than California, Hawaii and Florida combined. Equally renowned as the home of the headwaters of the mighty Mississippi River, the name Minnesota is derived from the Dakota Sioux word for "cloudy water." I finish this cut-out with a sterling silver pendant bail which will fit on necklace up to 3mm in thickness. I also make these cut-outs available with or without the state name,"MINNESOTA", cut-out across the top.
