Hi everyone, I am just getting into making these lovely 'flowers' I started to use the new gorilla SUPER glue for the spoon in the back. It is so strong that after 24 hours you can bend the spoon and that glue will not budge. What are you using for embellishments on your plates? Since I live in Connecticut I will bring them in when the frost hits, until then I am enjoying my new found addiction LOL

Great job! I especially like the black and white checked flowers...they look very happy! Sorry to hear about your broken wrist, but glad it's better.

The only thing I've had work is to take a knife, putty knife, or pie server and start working around the edges until it will come off. If it hasn't been set for a long time, it will probably come off easier. Good luck!

Wow, these are really beautiful!! How long is the threaded rod you're using? Is it easy to bend or do you have to use a pipe bender? Do you use rubber washers? Is the rod 1/4 inch around? I've made bird feeders with chick feeders and have found drilling the glass is time consuming but wow, you make it look like it's the best way to make these flowers.
