When my in-laws dismantled the old run down
family "homestead", they saved the large slate roof pieces for family
members and had a local artist paint scenes on each slate. Leather cord was
strung through the old nail holes and made a strong and aesthetically appealing
hanging loop. The slate art makes great indoor or outdoor
decorations.

Dear All,
Our historic site's slate roof is being repaired
and we are considering using some "retired" slate tiles from the roof for a fund
raiser as historic momentos. We took them to someone to see if we could
have them engraved in some way, but they are too brittle.
Just wondered if
anyone had any ideas or had used Slate before as an historic
gift/momento?
