I have to say, my own personal opinion-I think your clear glass ones are so much prettier-I'll bet the cut glass really catches the sunlight and the pretty solar light at night-we have the crackle glass ones too-do you have the color changing light on yours?

Thank you for your kind comment. I bought most of the glass at Salvation Army store so they were very inexpensive to make. I paid 50 cents for most pieces and many of them are beautiful cut glass. If one really was unusual I paid a dollar but no more. My solar lights are the color changing ones.

queenofhearts, yes, I'm from Minnesota, but I think these have been on pinterest and other places for awhile. He just happened to start making them. He sold a lot of them for gardens here and people brought for Christmas presents

299559Very pretty. I love the idea of recycling plates rather than tossing them out.

you can't get any money for plates that aren't collector items, might just as well have pretties. LOL!
