I still don't love my hand writing, but I'm really happy with how it turned out, considering it's just a plate glued to a bowl. This isn't the only stand we will be having for the wedding. I decided I didn't want just a boring table of platters for the cookie table, I want dimension.

Did you take on any painting projects? Were you pleased with how they turned out?
