I bought these 8 glass plates (salad sized, not full sized) at Value Thrift for $0.69 each....and then used a 25% off coupon that my friend Kristin had for use on Thursdays. They weren't nicked or scratched at all, and I added flowers (cut out on my CRICUT) to the bottom of each plate in a variety of blues patterns. All of the papers were also double sided as I think the bottom should still be pretty. I used my usual Diamond Glaze, and went to town!
I decided that the flower wasn't enough on its own. The papers on top were mostly subtle prints, so I added some glitter too. YEAH! GLITTER!
This is my son's bead sale that he set up in the basement this evening. I bought a seed bead ring he made and a couple of other beads too. He is too funny. The store is now "clost" for the evening.
Here is a picture I took of a plate held up to the light on the ceiling fan....pretty interesting. I might do something with that......things that make you go hmmmm......
I am also linking up here to feature creative blogs this weekend!
I love glass plates I have found some real gems at the thrift and garage sale.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Linda! I know your name from comments on the Whynot Pottery blog! Check out my pottery field trip post from a couple of days ago...i have some links to a couple of my favorite potters (besides Meredith, of course). I remember glass dishes and candy dishes of all colors at my great aunt Pearl's house! I am a relatively new fan of the thrift shop. I just had not been in one before.
ReplyDeleteLove glass plates and finding them while thrifting. Thanks for your comments on my art piece. I get what you're saying about thirds and will remember that. Appreciate the feedback!
