Plaque Rack

Just wanted to share a project I completed before my show.  I was going to take this metal crown plaque with me, but decided not to.  It was a nice  plaque, and I wanted to add a little functionality to it.  In a previous post, I shared a fan rack.  So, I decided to do the same thing with my plaque.  Right now, it's hanging in my studio.  Pretty much any flat, or semi-flat item with a hole in it can become a rack.  I have other examples I'll show you soon.



You saw this plaque in one of my studio photos.  It was dark metal, and the details didn't stand out at all.  I painted it white.



I distressed it to bring out the details, and added a small knob to the lower hole.









I'm so glad I didn't take it.  My show was successful, BTW.

    Painted it white? How unusual lol! Love that plaque, even better with the knob. And the bottle with flowers is the piece de resistance! Think I would have kept it, too. Congrats on the show, btw.

    I remember seeing that plaque in one of your earlier posts and just loved it. that was a creative idea to add a knob to it and turn it into a hanger of sorts. Glad to hear that your show was successful too. Now you can finally rest a bit!
