He Loves Me Mould (IOD) Iron Orchid Designs- 6x10

Fill your painted furniture and decor with the joy of a summer meadow with the He Loves Me Decor Mould by Iron Orchid Designs. Eight elements — three large statement flowers, two smaller daisies, and two feather leaf sprigs — all sculpted with the full, rounded depth of genuine carved plasterwork. A large gerbera daisy with long narrow petals, a cosmos with broad rounded petals, a sunflower with a honeycomb-textured seed head, and delicate feather leaves compose a complete meadow bouquet that can be arranged across any painted surface.

The three large flowers are each a distinct botanical species with individually characterised petal and seed head detail — the gerbera's long narrow petals radiating from a fine dotted seed disc, the cosmos's broad overlapping petals with a larger dotted centre, and the sunflower's shorter petals surrounding a deeply textured honeycomb seed head. Applied together across a cabinet door or headboard in graduating sizes, they create a composition that reads like genuine carved stone relief from across the room. The feather leaf sprigs add lightness and movement between the bold flower heads. Dry-brush with silver or gold wax over white paint and every petal edge and seed cell catches the light individually.

• Small Daisy (Smaller) — smallest daisy accent element
• Large Feather Leaf Sprig — large compound feather leaf with individually detailed leaflets on a central stem
• Small Feather Leaf Sprig — small compound feather leaf, ideal as a filler or accent element

Design Applications

• Compose a full meadow bouquet: large gerbera centre, cosmos and sunflower flanking, medium and small daisies scattered, feather leaves between — a complete botanical panel for a large cabinet door or headboard
• Apply the three large flowers in graduating sizes diagonally across a wardrobe door for a sweeping botanical composition
• Use a single large flower as a statement centrepiece on a large tray, mirror frame, or canvas
• Scatter small daisies and feather leaves as repeating accents across a set of drawers or a frame
• Combine with IOD botanical transfers (Wilde Bloemen, Wander 2) for a layered meadow scene mixing cast relief flowers with flat transfer botanicals
• Dry-brush with silver or gold wax over white paint for a luminous plasterwork finish where every petal edge and seed cell catches the light

How to Use

1. Press your chosen medium firmly into the mould, working from the center outward to eliminate air pockets in the petal and seed head detail.
2. Smooth the back flat with a palette knife or your finger.
3. Allow to set or cure fully according to your medium's instructions.
4. Flex the silicone mould gently to release the cast ornament.
5. Adhere to your surface using strong craft adhesive or gel medium.
6. Once dry, paint, gild, dry-brush, or wax over the ornament to integrate it with your piece.

Tips for Best Results

• For the sunflower seed head: press medium very firmly into the honeycomb cell cavities to capture the full textured detail — this is the most intricate area of the mould.
• For the large gerbera: press medium carefully into each long narrow petal cavity to avoid air pockets at the petal tips.
• Lightly mist the mould with water before pressing in air-dry clay to prevent sticking.
• For IOD Decor Mousse: press firmly, scrape the back flat, and allow to air-dry in the mould for 10–15 minutes before releasing.
• Silver wax dry-brush technique: paint white, allow to dry fully, then lightly drag a brush loaded with silver wax across the surface — the raised petal edges and seed cells catch the colour beautifully, as shown in the product image.
• Prime cast pieces before painting for best paint adhesion.
