Old World Wall Art~

I was recently hired to do a re-staging/decorating job out of state!  I was gone a full 5 days and I must say, I missed my angels something bad.
 I had some difficulty doing this job because I was not able to take my tools and extra decor that I have hoarded saved because in order to get to this job I needed to take a 2 and half hour plane ride.  I am planning to return soon to spruce up the place a bit and add some other touches like this plaque I made for the bathroom~
 Thank goodness for my hoarding saving!  I bought these four metal tiles a year ago from Michael's thinking I wanted to use them some way in our kitchen, but I did not like the way they looked and since I lost the receipt I was not able to return them~
 I felt they would look great grouped together in a larger plaque, sooo I took out my trusted foam core.  I painted the areas that white might peek out as well as the edges. I applied construction adhesive to each tile and glued them to the foam core~
I had a small Fleur de Lis (of course)that I painted black and centered it in the middle.  For weight I used  my beautiful Readers Digest condensed edition books and waited over night to allow the glue to dry~
The following morning I added some ribbon on the back for hanging, of course she could have used 3M command strips, but honestly I did not think of that before hand~
I sent the homeowner a picture of the plaque & she loves it~
Once I return from adding the finishing touches I will post pictures of the job~
