Weird to put gallery style plaques in the house?, by maadbeats on Jun 13, 2011 2:53:53 GMT 1, great idea. I only have one, scratch that two in my house. 1st is right when you walk into my upstairs bedroom/loft where I have a lot of pieces(more of a joke but always wanted to put one by each piece). 2003 is the year i started the habit seriously
![](http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b201/maadbeats55/wallplaque.jpg)
Second is a framed print out of the explanation framed on a table near the original of our Parla the wiffey and I commissioned for our wedding.
![](http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b201/maadbeats55/Josestatement.jpg) beautiful stuff, huh?? Jose is the man. I had many conversations with him prior to completion. Told him my story(not getting into to details) and IMO he executed perfectly. As soon as we received the piece I wrote back saying how pleased we were. I also wanted to pick his brain and see what words he wrote and colors he used to FEEL the meaning behind the piece.
I say do it. pure class. shows your a proud owner. Just need someone to work out the 3 x 4 or what ever size pieces plexis. Wont be hard. Do show pics so I can convince the better to hang more sh!t

Weird to put gallery style plaques in the house?, by boaty on Jun 13, 2011 3:54:15 GMT 1, not a bad idea if you're describing some meaningful experiences to help you reflect and share, if you like...like "hurt my ankle that day"; "got fired right after I bought this"; "overpaid, but I love it"; "underpaid - I think"; "no COA - but love it anyway"; "gift from a friend"; "gift from I dunno who"..."xxx was born today"...etc
...anyway - do whatever you want to do...

Weird to put gallery style plaques in the house?, by chaserawr on Jun 13, 2011 4:29:48 GMT 1, I think this is the dumbest idea.
Don't you want people to ask you about your art when they come over?
Its also pretty presumptions that you'd expect your visitors to be THAT interested in your art to read all your plaques?
Seems a bit snooty to me....

Weird to put gallery style plaques in the house?, by chaserawr on Jun 13, 2011 4:56:34 GMT 1, haha yeah I mean after rereading my post I sound a bit huffed.
I was just saying like if I walked into someone else's house and saw that they had these little plaques up next to each piece on the wall I'd probably just think to my self "Who the F*CK do this guy think he is." HAHAHA, and probably laugh my way out the door.
Just my .02c!!!
Carry on.

It can also be fun. every single piece could be overload but a few that your really proud of would not overstep what so ever. Yervi go with your gut. Its your home

Weird to put gallery style plaques in the house?, by Finsbury on Jun 13, 2011 8:08:25 GMT 1, I wouldnt do it ever, not many of my mates are into art and i wouldnt want them to feel like they had to look at it or feel bad for not showing an undesired interest. I dont see it as fun i see it as 100% cheddar, let someone who has an interest ask the questions. This just seems like 'going around giving it the large to me....'
