Beyond the Basics - plate art

If you're looking for an alternative to framed photographs or pictures to spice up your walls, how about using plates? Here is an example of a "vintage" look using lovely plates with a scalloped edge and embellished with a gold plate or charger under them. Depending upon the plate, you can come up with all kinds of different looks. Get creative with your embellishments. Add dried flowers to them, enclose them in a shadow box or a frame, or use just as they are.
