Rose,I either use wire dish hangers or wrap them with wire. The dish hangers work best but if the design isn't intricate enough or I haven't applied the paint in enough layers to make it darker, the hanger shows through more than I like. Sometimes I pick up embroidery hoops (Thrift stores, Goodwill, yardsales) and sandwich the plate in by wrapping jewelry wire around the plate and the hoop!
Many of the sculptures and art pieces on this blog have been sold...but many are still available for purchase! Please leave me a comment or e-mail at mystapring@Yahoo.com if interested in purchaseing.

Dragon Taxidermy Done Here!
Don't forget..have ye a need for a dragon, I know where to get 'em! Please check out my older posts for more Dragon photos. And follow this link to my Art Gecko Studio blog, right now it has only dragons but as time goes on I will add more of my other art!
I have three blogs, one is for my dragons that I make from air dry clay. The other is for my other art... what ever I am into at the time. And the third is for some of my poetry. A friend of mine (Ros, you know who you are) ispired me to post my writings.
I am a retired musician and a barber. I run a shop called Sweeney's in Tucson, with my youngest daughter, and my oldest daughter is a radiology tech assitant and dance teacher! I played music 5 nights a week for 20 years with my husband and step-son, and now I have time for my art! Hope you enjoy it!

Ah! Now I get it..... So one last question - how do you hang them?
