Faux Talavera Plates

I've been remodeling my old place. Actually practically have rebuilt the entire thing. That costs a lot of money so I've been saving where I can. I did my kitchen mexican style ( Mostly) with talavera tiles and so on. I wanted Talavera plates for the walls, but I didn't want to spend that much money. What I did was by cheap plates & then copy pictures of talavera plates I found online, print them out & cut them out. Then I glued the paper pictures to the plain cheap plates. Then I painted the edges with acryllic paint. Then I sprayed several layers of clear acryllic paint and let it dry. Below are the before plate pictures and the result. I also included the Morrocan tiles I set into the next wall. Don't look at the boo boos I made in that LOL. Anyway, I kind mixed countries and styles all over the place in my house LOL.



 

Smart girl! Those Talavera plates are really expensive, even if you buy them in Mexico.
Thanks jujube. Occasionally a few of my brain cells kick in. Not that often ;)
