{"product_id":"invitation-only-iod-decor-mould","title":"Invitation Only Mould (IOD) Iron Orchid Designs- 6x10","description":"\u003cp\u003eYou are cordially invited to the most distinguished gathering in the IOD mould range. The \u003cstrong\u003eInvitation Only Decor Mould by Iron Orchid Designs\u003c\/strong\u003e features four impeccably dressed anthropomorphic animal gentlemen - a cat, a stag, a lion, and a dog - each rendered as a formal portrait bust on a classical pedestal, wearing a top hat or bowler, a tailored jacket with lapels, and a bow tie. The sculptural detail is extraordinary: every whisker, every fur texture, every jacket button, every bow tie knot is individually sculpted in deep, portrait-quality relief.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese are not decorative motifs - they are portraits. The cat's knowing expression, the stag's aristocratic bearing with his full antler crown, the lion's magnificent mane framing a dignified face, the dog's jowly good humour - each one has a distinct personality that transforms any painted piece into a talking point. Apply them to a gentleman's study cabinet, a bar cart, a bookcase, or a set of drawers for a result that is simultaneously sophisticated and delightfully absurd. Micro-Rims and Measure Marks are built into the mould.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMould Elements and Media Quantities\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Cat\u003c\/strong\u003e - dapper cat bust in tall top hat, ruffled cravat, tailored jacket with lapels and buttons, on classical pedestal base; knowing expression with individually sculpted whiskers and fur texture - 25ml \/ 39g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Stag\u003c\/strong\u003e - distinguished stag bust with full branching antler crown, bow tie, tailored jacket with lapels, on classical pedestal base; aristocratic expression with individually sculpted fur and antler tine detail - 24ml \/ 38g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Lion\u003c\/strong\u003e - magnificent lion bust in top hat, bow tie, tailored jacket, on classical pedestal base; full mane framing a dignified face with individually sculpted mane curl and fur detail - 31ml \/ 46g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Dog\u003c\/strong\u003e - jovial dog bust in bowler hat, bow tie with pearl pin, tailored jacket with lapels, on classical pedestal base; jowly good-humoured expression with individually sculpted fur and wrinkle detail - 25ml \/ 37g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIOD Mould Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProprietary Micro-Rim - helps make cleaner castings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasure Marks - weight and volume guides for precise media measurement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFood-safe silicone - BPA free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with most casting mediums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWash with mild soap and water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Taiwan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesign Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply all four busts across a large bookcase or cabinet for a full gentlemen's club portrait gallery - one bust per door panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse a single bust as a statement centrepiece on a bar cart, side table, or gentleman's study cabinet door\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply to a set of four matching drawers - one animal per drawer - for a complete anthropomorphic portrait chest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse on a decorative box or keepsake chest for a distinguished Victorian cabinet of curiosities effect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCombine with Frames mould rectangular frames applied around each bust for a full framed portrait gallery effect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaint in antique white and finish with raw umber dry-brush for a genuine carved plaster portrait bust finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePress your chosen medium firmly into the mould, working from the center outward to eliminate air pockets in the face, fur, and jacket detail.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmooth the back flat with a palette knife or your finger.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllow to set or cure fully according to your medium's instructions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlex the silicone mould gently to release the cast bust.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdhere to your surface using strong craft adhesive or gel medium.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnce dry, paint, dry-brush, or wax over the casting to finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTips for Best Results\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse the Measure Marks on the mould to measure your medium before pressing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor the Stag: press medium very firmly into the antler tine cavities - these are the finest elements; allow to cure fully before releasing to avoid breakage of the antler tips.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor the Lion: press medium firmly into all mane curl cavities - the mane is the deepest area and requires firm, even pressure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor the Cat and Dog: press medium carefully into the whisker and facial wrinkle detail for the full character expression.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor IOD Decor Mousse: press firmly, scrape the back flat, and allow to air-dry in the mould for 15-20 minutes before releasing - these are large, deep portrait elements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePortrait bust finish: paint in antique white or warm stone, apply raw umber thinned with water into the fur and jacket recesses, wipe back the high points for a carved plaster effect.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrime cast pieces before painting for best paint adhesion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade in Taiwan.
