day 119: spider web plates

halloween serving plate number one :)
day 119 and it's time to play with some plates and porcelain pens.  today's inspiration comes from char at crap i've made who made a really cute spider web plate as a decorative piece.  i thought this was a great idea especially for us new zealanders who can't readily access any halloween decor let alone serving plates!  i pinned the idea to my holiday goodness board :)

you need some porcelain pens and some plain plates, i went with white dinner plates as i plan to serve the party food on them.  then draw away!

the plates and porcelain pens

halloween serving plate two!

halloween serving plate three ... needs a picture, just
wondering what!

outcome: happyish ;)  it's times like these when i wish i could draw like the best of them!  however, they are at least more festive than the plain white plates they were.  i think this is such an awesome idea and i plan to do more plate designs and hopefully improve the drawing along the way :)

my thanks to char at crap i've made for the fantastic idea to stylise your own plates ... perfect way to put your own stamp on your parties and dinning ware :)

The drawing part would definitely scare me away but your brooms and web rock!
And I love the pics from yesterday - those skeletons are hilarious!
And let Polly know I haven't forgotten her pictures. The first life jacket we got for Jem was too small so I have to exchange it today. :)

These are great, perfect way to make seasonal serving plates for every season (I keep seeing expensive holiday platters!)
