Maxx the Dog Personalized Face Plate

This is another version of Personalized Maxx Face Plate that I made for my son as an Easter present in honor of his dog that went to Heaven recently.   On this plate I used the same as here except I used a Porcelaine 150that is specifically for use on ceramics.  The only thing I didn't notice when I bought the pen was that is is a "fine tip" and it made very skinny lines and I had to go back over everything several times which made it a bit sloppy.  For a project like this it would probably be better to go with at least a medium point pen.

Version of "Personalized" Photo Plate - Maxx

This is a version of the http://craftsandcreationswithkathy.blogspot.com/2010/03/personalized-face-plate.html that I made for my son for his dog that went to heaven recently.

I purchased the plate at the Dollar Tree and made drew the picture, but it did not "sink" into the plate like the previous one that I had made, maybe due to it being a high gloss finish to begin with???  I tried "curing" the plate in the oven on 250 degrees for a few hours, yet, when it cooled I still could easily scrub off the picture.

I chose to put a clear coat of paint on it and deemed it for "decoration only" to preserve the image and gave my son the option of keeping it as a plate to for decoration in his room or find out if he wanted to include it on the gravesite of his dog...he still has not decided, but what I can say is if you want to make a personalized face plate, chose a plate that does not have a high gloss on it to paint your image.
