This is a 10 inch diam. hardwood plate, finished in mahogany stain and multiple coats of clear satin urethane. The center art is loosely based on a ceramic plate decoration of the period which is done as a decoupage transfer image enhanced by hand painting as appropriate. The center image is protected by matte fixative to enhance the graphic. The blank plates are American made and the finishes and decorations are entirely produced in our shop. Finishing takes some time, but is worth the affordable cost. Uses a stock plate hanger, no hardware is applied to the plate. We may be able to provide a different central image of similar style.

I've been a commercial designer for many years now, working in different disciplines for various clients, designing everything from real estate information centers to signage and entry features. At the same time, I never stopped creating original art and hand crafted items. I mostly do landscapes and botanical drawings, but also have done some unique portraits, some as book illustrations and a series of digital painting of world landmarks is an ongoing project.
I also produce unique decor items ranging from painted tiles mounted on wood to stunning items decoupaged with prints of my original artwork. I craft small items such as occasional tables, boxes, plaques--all with specialty finishes. My hope is to find folks who like what they see of my work and to make something special for them that they can enjoy as much as I like making it.
