  1. That is painstakingly precise work and the end result is quite spectacular. I’m not sure which one I like better – the clean lines of the 1st one, or the elaborate frills of the 2nd.

    What do you do with them when they are finished?

    1. I like them both too.
      I have asked myself the same question – what to do with them once done. At first I was tucking them into open spaces on book shelves. Then I found a suggestion that you can use plate hangers and put them on the wall. That is what I’m doing now!
