Angelic Tapers IOD Mould 6″x10″

Description

Angelic Tapers IOD mould is part of the 2024 IOD Winter Release. It celebrates the classical beauty of angelic motifs.

Designed with versatility in mind, these moulds offer so much creative freedom. Make a lovely planter pick for a giftable poinsettia. If you think outside of the box, you can actually cut apart the different parts of the mould to use in different ways. The angel bust alone would make a beautiful ornament or furniture embellishment!

Project Suggestions:

• Use the angels back to back to create a dimensional ornament.

• Make exquisite planter picks for Christmas greenery.

• Adorn the apex and edges of a curved frame with the angels at both ends and a taper to connect the two.

• Curve the tapers to hug the side of an LED candle or napkin ring for an elevated look.

• Use the section under the angel bust as icicles on other projects.

  Pair With:

  • Bibelots by layering angels on top for vintage ornaments.

What are IOD Moulds?

IOD Moulds are the most beautifully designed, deeply detailed moulds on the market. They are made from food safe materials (do not use the same set for food and crafts), and can be used to transform and create baked goods, furniture, soaps, jewelry, and more!

You can use IOD moulds with a bazillion different mediums ( yes, we counted.), transforming your projects into masterpieces with ease!

Different Mediums For the Angelic Tapers IOD Mould

IOD Moulds can be used with many different mediums. We
will cover the two most common here. Every medium has its own characteristics,
challenges, and virtues.

Air dry clay, or paper clay:
IOD paper clay is an air dry medium, and one of our favorites. Like most paper pulp
based air dry clays, some shrinking, warping, and cracking is inherent. We like
these qualities for a distressed, authentically vintage look. Our favorite way
to apply moulded pieces is to remove them from the mould while still moist, and
adhere to the surface with the appropriate glue so it conforms well. For
vertical surfaces, use a piece of low tack tape to hold it in place so it
doesn’t slide.

Casting resins:
There are some great pourable resins available. These have completely different qualities than
the paper clay. There is no shrinking or warping, and the castings are more
consistent. Depending on the project, these qualities can be helpful. If you
need to conform them to a curved surface, this can be done if removed from the
mould before it’s completely hardened.

On releases:
We find that most of the time a release is not necessary and the casting will come out without
the use of a release, however, if you are having trouble with the material
sticking (more common with clays than resins), a light dusting of simple
cornstarch or arrowroot is a great choice.
