IOD Specimens Decor Mould

Create nature-inspired embellishments with the Specimens silicone mould from Iron Orchid Designs. Featuring fourteen different, beautifully detailed bug designs, this 6" x 10" decor mould brings texture and character to furniture upcycling, mixed media art and dark academia home décor.

Imagine a museum-style specimen display in an upcycled frame, a bug casting decorating the cover of a gardening book, or a collection of painted details adding interest to flower pots. Use one design as a small focal point or arrange several together for a natural-history-inspired piece.

Ideas for your next project

  • Create museum-inspired specimen displays and decorative framed collections.
  • Add raised bug embellishments to book covers, boxes and mixed media panels.
  • Decorate flower pots and upcycled frames with nature-inspired details.
  • Make clay or resin appliqués for furniture and handmade home accessories.

Using air dry clay

Dust the mould lightly with cornflour to help release your casting. Remove the clay while still moist and adhere it in place. For vertical applications, low-tack tape can help hold the moulding while it dries. Natural shrinking, warping and cracking can give the finished piece an aged, distressed character.

Using casting resin

Casting resin produces consistent mouldings without the shrinking, warping or cracking associated with air dry clay. For curved surfaces, remove the casting before it has completely hardened so it can be shaped to fit.
