Wall Grouping - update

Do you  remember this?   


It's from a previous post,  Wall Grouping, that I did on 10/31/2020.
I'd had my bedroom freshly painted and wanted some type of wall decoration to accompany the picture of the bike I'd bought. I made a faux flower container from a place mat and the hybrid plate  from

 an old plate I had already.  Downloaded pictures from the NET were used to  decoupage onto the plate.

A couple of nights ago I was awakened by a loud thump in my bedroom.  For some strange reason, it didn't frighten me. I turned on the light, looked around the room but saw nothing. As I was returning from the bathroom, that's when I saw that the plate above my bed had fallen.
The Command Hook that was the correct size and weight for the plate didn't hold up. I'm glad it didn't fall on my head and instead behind the headboard. What you're seeing on the back of the plate are strips of duct tape I placed over the hanger after I'd used E-6000 to glue it on back when I made it.   

I don't plan to make another one. Honestly, I was planning to take it down anyway.  I enjoyed making it.  Purpose served. 

That's it***
