Viridis Mould (IOD) Iron Orchid Designs- 6x10

Bring the lush abundance of a summer garden to any painted surface with the Viridis Decor Mould by Iron Orchid Designs. Ten elements - two large sweeping leaf branch sprays and a complete family of individual leaves in four sizes plus two bark strip elements - all sculpted with the full botanical realism of a 19th-century horticultural illustration in deep, three-dimensional relief. Every leaf vein, every midrib, every surface texture is individually rendered with the precision of a pressed herbarium specimen.

The two large leaf branch sprays (each 30ml/45g) are the centrepiece elements - sweeping compositions of large lobed leaves on branching stems that cascade across the mould in a naturalistic, asymmetric arrangement. Applied together across a large cabinet door or headboard, they create a composition that reads like genuine carved stone botanical relief. The individual leaves in four sizes give you complete flexibility to extend, fill, and balance any composition at any scale. The bark strip elements add the structural woody stem detail that grounds the botanical composition. Micro-Rims and Measure Marks are built into the mould.

How to Use

1. Press your chosen medium firmly into the mould, working from the center outward to eliminate air pockets in the leaf vein and bark texture 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 element.
5. Adhere to your surface using strong craft adhesive or gel medium.
6. Once dry, paint, dry-brush, or wax over the casting to finish.

Tips for Best Results

• Use the Measure Marks on the mould - the two large branch sprays at 30ml/45g each are among the most media-intensive elements in the IOD range.
• For the large branch sprays: press medium firmly into all leaf vein cavities across the full spray, working from the central stem outward to each leaf tip. Allow to air-dry in the mould for 20 minutes before releasing.
• For the tiny leaf accent (0.7ml/1g): the smallest element - press carefully and cure fully before releasing to avoid breakage.
• For the bark strips: press medium firmly into the bark texture and knot cavities to capture the full woody detail.
• Lightly mist the mould with water before pressing in air-dry clay to prevent sticking.
• Lay all elements out on your surface before adhering to plan the full composition.
• Prime cast pieces before painting for best paint adhesion.
