I love this idea, and have been considering trying it out, but I was wondering how you mount them on the wall?
1Interesting pendant lighting.
2I went to the Museum of Art and Design in NYC a few weeks ago. They have an exhibit that we saw called "The Art of Industrial Ceramics". One of my favorite artworks from the exhibit was a wall display of plates, where each plate had one small segment of the classic Blue Willow pattern enlarged to fill the plate.

4I love this idea too! I'd love to hang different plates in white and blue, that traditional chinapattern. Think it would look gorgeous!
5Aha! A picture is worth 1000 words...

6I've done this with all white and ivory plates to balance out a room! You can find gorgeous styles at antique stores for very little money. I just refreshed my house "on the cheap" doing this, and adding candles as decor, very fun!
