"The IOD Persephone Decor Mould is inspired by Greek and Roman relief art of the female form, particularly from the Classical period, Persephone's features express strength and peace. She stands strong as a standalone focal point in your projects or serves as a solid base for composing a more grand relief.\n\n5×7 mould.\nSilicone, flexible, food safe and heat safe.\nDo not use the same mould for crafts and food.\nMicro rim technology.\nMeasure marks.\n\nDIFFERENT MEDIUMSIOD 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.\nAir 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.\nCasting 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.\nOn 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."
