Description

We have an extended delivery time on molds
There is a limit of 4 items you may purchase within a 2 week period
payment is due not longer than 3 days of purchasing items. Our molds are heavy, it is usually less expensive
if we use priority flat rate boxes.
There is a flat smaller mold from an antique casting with a similar design in the ebay store. I studied the antique casting and carved this 3-d figural from that. This one is bigger and different, the general shape is the same. This is either for an ornament or a frame
A non flexible polymer clay organic push mold will be taken from
This carving. The carving is about 3.5 inches. There is a ruler
in the photos so that you can estimate the size. You are getting
a mold and not the finished piece. Use the mold over and over again for many art projects.
Use my molds for polymer clay, such as premo, sculpey III, fimo, cernit, any clay that can be
pushed into a mold, hold form when taken out and then fire, bake, air dry, or cure while
your compound is NOT
n the mold.
These non-flexible molds are so easy to use. Dust the mold with corn starch or baby powder.
We like to use the baby powder that has corn starch. The powder acts as a release
agent and your clay will not stick in the mold. Then condition your clay by kneading it in your hands.
Once conditioned, form it in a small flat saucer shape and then put it in the mold.
It takes more than one push.....hold it slightly with one hand so it doesn't rock back and forth
while taking an impression. Take it out, put it on a tile or a platter made of glass and you will want to
trim the edges before baking. It is that simple. Ask if you have questions.
Do not use the following:
No liquids in these molds, they can't go in kilns, use for polymer clay, air dry clay,
porcelain clay, any clay that can be pushed into a mold, hold form when taken out and then fired
baked, air dry, or cured while not in the mold.
