License Plates and Bandaids

License plates should be classifed as hazardous materials.

At least when they are used to create art. Have you ever tried cutting or bending one? The old beautiful vintage ones, I mean. Not the newer "improved" lightweight versions. Old plates are made from heavy galvanized pressed steel. If you are able to cut the heavy metal (forget about it without a bench shear) you then have to maneuver the razor sharp edge you've created! I buy bandaids in bulk. But the end result, with all edges beveled and surfaces waxed, is so gorgeous, its worth it!
