Bob, All my plaque I let the backer stick out about 3/8" all the way around no matter what shape it is. I use a flat washer and trace around the plaque to get the backer shape. dave
I saw this quote on Facebook and it caught my eye. Thought it would make a good plaque. I don't remember where I found the clip art. It is a simple cut but it sure gets a lot of interest at the Farmers Market. It measures 12" x 13". dave
I call my projects like this one "my ego projects". They make me feel good and give me a sense of accomplishment. If you price them for what you think their worth it doesn't seem like others appreciate the work and craftsmanshipn unless it means something personal to them. dave
