Smile My First Plaque
I am working on creating my first plaque, this is only my second attempt at relief; so I was wondering if I could get some input and suggestions on how to improve the plaque. I am going to groove the background working from right to left because I like the look behind the imagery. Its not done but any help you can suggest would be awesome

You can also post the pictures here, in your message, by using the manage attachments. I like the design and I think you are progressing well. I like to use Word or other programs for lettering. I can resize and try different font styles until I get exactly what I want and then print it out and transfer it to the wood. I like the vines and flower....should look cool.
