Oh that is very pretty. You did a great job. Thanks for sharing.

Heehee, I know We have a cloudy day too here in MD.
The tray turned out really nice. Very classy looking. I just made a silver tray too. Hope mine turns out as nice as yours did.

Very pretty! I just gave away a box of blue willow dishes.. but the person I gave them to is actually going to use them for eating purposes.

I love it, it's beautiful:) I LOVE working on old silverplated stuff :) Sometimes I leave it silver, sometimes if it's pitted or won't clean up I spray paint the whole thing and then mosaic it :) I didn't paint the part I was mosaicing once,and glued on pink stained glass,and it came out looking lavender through the silver...lol....it looked good anyway:)

That is really cool. I love the blue plate you used. It looks really good!!! IT looks good with the edges left like you did compliments the blue in the plate!!

I love this piece Cindiloo.

Mylalaland where in MD? I'm in Vienna, VA we'll be in Columbia, MD for New Years.

That's lovely! I love blue dishes, I've been collecting them for awhile now, for something......maybe a silver tray? I love yours!

Nice tray, I love blue anything!!

Maria

That is just Bluetiful!!!!! Love it...Dottie

gorgeous!!!! Um...I don't mean to be rude or anything but I have a question...is this a real silver tray, or one of those silver-plated jobbies? If B, how do you keep it from getting all cruddy looking?
I ask because that's a really great tray- the white/blue/silver combination (goes great with the snow in the background, btw)...I just have never been able to keep one of those silver-plated trays from getting cruddy looking, so was wondering how anyone does it.
Thanks!

Very nice!!!!

You did a beautiful job, CINDILOO - looks like it was made that way.

That is very pretty indeed!
But I kinda have the same question as Tina...
Do you (as in the 'Royal you')mosaic on real silver???

I really like how that turned out! very pretty.

I need an oval tray... and a box... and

I have been looking for blue and white dishes forever. Yours turned out beautiful.

mmqchdygg and linlee, I am totally ignorant about whether something is 'real' or not. I'm guessing it's not as I only paid .59 cents for it. And I never thought about keeping it from getting cruddy, so I don't know what to do for that..any suggestions?

Over time you will have to clean it with silver cleaner, I'd tape it off with painters first. It's BEAUTIFUL Cindiloo!
Really charming.

I use NevrDull to clean silver and silver plate with,it's a wadding type cleaner, all my trays and things have been silver plate (if it were real silver I'd sell it hehe) NeverDull will leave the patina in the designs and patterns in your silver plate. Then when I'm finished grouting I spray the whole thing with a clear acrylic .

Beautiful..Bianchi marshalls have blue and white china alot.

It's a Blue Plate Special! ;-)

kudzukween: After spraying with the clear acrylic will I NOT have to ever get out the silver polish again?

hahahahhaha. Oh man, just cracked myself up...."get out the silver polish" like I even own any...

andrea_2: Blue Plate Special indeed! Good one.

Very pretty tray!
