Next challenge was to see if it would work in one of Sudberry House's Crown Plates. I knew the size would be right because I designed it that way, but I wasn't at all sure I would be able to mount it properly to fit.
Because of the shell, I could not use the glass.
Problem: I couldn't get the glass out of the frame! Called DH in and we ended up taking it outside and breaking the glass. Just couldn't get it out. I don't know if all the Crown Plates are like that or if I just had a difficult one!
UPDATE: Sudberry House says:
"Sorry you had trouble getting the
glass out. It should come right out, but a few of them have been rather snug
fitting."

Very nice finish and some pretty colors.
Liz - When you need just a bit more space between the top surface of your work and the glass, you might want to consider using what framers calls spacers. These are 1/4 inch clear plastic square rods which come in 8 foot lengths. When you put them on top of your mounting mat, they give an extra quarter inch of space up to the glass. I think you could use more than one of these on top of another, but I would get some advice from a professional on how to do that.

Thanks Kareen, I'll keep that in mind.
