Floriade comes from the Latin floriat which means to design with flowers.
Not tied to any one traditional folk art style, these florals represent a compilation
of ideas and techniques from over 50 years of studying and enjoying the stylized floral presentation.
Bundle includes a large 16" custom plate with a turned up edge. The plate is turned from basswood by Tim Montzka. If you've ever seen Montzka's plates you know that they are the very best available. This bundle includes the pattern packet and the unfinished 16" custom wood plate for the design shown. Another in the floriade floral series - this bundle includes the pattern packet and the custom plate.
