Introducing the Viridis Mould, our appreciation of the timeless beauty and versatility of greenery, encapsulated in a mould that’s both classic and indispensably modern. "Viridis," Latin for green, perfectly embodies the essence of this mould—dedicated to the artful representation of leaves and greenery, a motif celebrated throughout history in classic friezes and compositions. Our design focuses on capturing the dynamic, curling, and furling movements of foliage, rendered in exquisite detail to bring a sense of natural ruffle and flow to any project.

Designed for scalability, the Viridis Mould is substantial enough to anchor your compositions while offering a mirrored component for those who love symmetry in their designs. This feature allows for the creation of balanced, eye-catching arrangements with ease.

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the Viridis Mould is incredibly buildable. It comes with smaller, connectable pieces that seamlessly repeat and integrate, facilitating complex designs or simple accents with equal finesse. This mould is a versatile companion for any decor theme, especially enriching spaces that yearn for a touch of nature's tranquility.

The IOD Décor Moulds are made from food-safe materials (do not use the same set for food and crafts) and can be used to transform and create baked goods, furniture, soaps, jewellery, and just about anything you can think up in that creative brain of yours.

Product Information:

IOD Décor 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.

Air dry clay, or paper clay: 

IOD paper clay is an air dry medium, and one of our favourites. 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 favourite 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.

Casting 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.

Releasing your casting:

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.
