A plaque is defined as a three-dimensional traditional design or assemblage of plant material and components with radial stem placement. It is mounted on a framed or unframed background for decorating a door or wall.
One difference between a swag and a plaque is that the swag has one pivot spot and hence one focal area, and plaques have more than one center of interest and pivot spot.
In this design, there are two separate units, two pivot spots, and two focal areas. The largest unit is the bottom design, and the top one diminishes in size and quantity of materials. Each unit is mounted on the top and bottom of a large copper coil. The coil leads the eye from the top unit to the bottom unit.
This copper coil was a straight measure of copper tubing available in a hardware store. Its curves were established using metal bending tools that are used by plumbers to make uniform bends in pipe. The sunflowers and poppy pods make up the focal interest in each unit, with the aspidistra leaves repeating the curvature of the wreath. Flax, pine, and ruscus serve to create a horizontal connecting line between the units. This composition was designed for a man's funeral service, and the price starts at $100.
