This is one of the plates I found while visiting some cool antique store on RT 66 in Oklahoma last year. I traced the plate and worked the design around it. Since I cant draw, I can use a ruler. I like the way it came out.

 Beautiful Diane!!!!! I love this!!!! I found some small but really cool plates at Goodwill about a month ago. I had thought about slumping them flat, and then making a panel but this really makes the plate stand out. Would you mind if I keep that in mind to try when I have the time to work on this kind of idea?

Thanks Anne and Tom. These are so cool and look wonderful in the window. Anne, I haven't found these up here either and the bonus was it had a chip on the edge which doesn't matter since it will be covered with foil, just needed a bit of grinding. Tom I don't mind at all, have fun with it.

Thanks Tina, De and Nancy was a fun piece to do. The background glass was Spectrum Barnwood.
