Four of a Kind with Smurfs

[darkemeralds]

roseambr came over yesterday bearing gifts.





She made extras! Little Smurf plates out of the scraps of glass left from the big ones! Aren't they adorable? (I believe the correct term is sushi plates.) They're perfect little teabag-catching, two-cookie-serving, coffee-cup-bearing saucer-things, and I know I'm going to wish I had another pair of them.

The big plates are wonderful to eat from. The flat part in the center is large enough for real food, but small enough to mimic that tidy sense of eating from a small plate. They sit firmly and stably on the table-top; they're sturdy and heavy and not at all fragile-feeling, and yet they read as objets-d'art.

I'm still working on the design of a display shelf for them.

They look like they cost major bucks because they are so elegant and unusual.

They didn't cost me major bucks, but given the cost of supplies that I did pay, plus the time and skill that roseambr put in, and the use of all her tools and studio space, yeah, they'd have to retail for...well, more than they could sell for.

That's the beauty of makin' your own stuff!
