Your plate is a real work of art, Debra.

Thank you.

Here is the third one. Amazing what you can do with time to sit down and DO it.

#4. Saucer. Used buttons, beads, and glass mosaic tiles. One of two experiments to see how long the plastics hold up to Texas summers.

11" Melamine charger. Plastic buttons; glass mosaic tiles, leaves, marbles; frosted glass salad plate; terracotta tile. Really stretching it, here. My sister works at a place that gets samples of all kinds of foodservice things and sometimes the employees get to take a few items. Melamine is tough and it should stand up to the sun well. 'Nother experiment to see what happens. Will not again use frosted glass as the center piece. Do not like the way you can see the adhesive. Also, the whole thing is sloppy. Less directional control with the glue and it shows when you look close. Maybe someday I will take the time to scrape and pull it off...but, maybe not...

Love my house I have done some frosted glass but like oil painting art is appreciated from farther away. I think it is beautiful and would display it proudly in my yard

Thank you, Sandy.

Frosted would be fine as the background where the adhesive is hidden by the successive layers.

Instead of adhering posts as I did to the first two plates, thinking of finding hangers to line them along my front fence panels.
