storm35 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 How do you do it?? I have silicone here and plastic to make another mold of what i have, but how do y ou make say a rose, or a tiny tulip or a delicate fairy?? You cant pour in fluid as it would flatten the flower if you used a real flower, anyone help me am really really stuck??TIACxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 What some people I know who make molds do, is they have a wooden sculpture and then pour the mold material over that. That would really be the only suggestion that I have. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo848 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 i have made items from sculpy clay, baked it and then used those for my models.cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storm35 Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 Thank yoyu Cheryl, so any kind of clay that you bake in the over can be used? Only problem with that is i am not artistic, or can you cover your item in this clay and add it in oven or not?CxxxThen you would pour silicone or plastic over that yea?

Candle Man Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 You are welcome. The DVD is well worth the price, if you decide to purchase them.I have them and have been to the live hands on siminar in Dallas, TX but since you are in the UK the DVD is a good investment.
