For
those who can’t or don’t want to make
a mould!
This lady
in her seventies had been making pressed flowers for
many years. She used a ceramic plaster mould into
which she pressed pottery clay. She then had them
fired in a kiln, decorated them, glued a pin on the
back and sold them to people around the world through
the internet.
Over the
years the detail in the mould had deteriorated and
she wanted a new mould. Naturally the mould had been
discontinued. What to do?
She did
not want to start mould making and could not afford
to have someone make a new mould from scratch. It
turned out that she had a finished piece made many
years ago that had the full detail and wanted to know
if a impression silicone mould could be made from
that. |
