Is there anything more quint essentially English than hazelnuts and bay berries? Inspired by botanical illustrations from a vintage book, Hazel & Bay features elegant hazelnut and bayberry branches with a refined, historical architectural feel. Designed to connect seamlessly, the branches flow beautifully into decorative trim, allowing you to create continuous borders and graceful embellishments.
Perfect for chargers, wreaths, bracelets, napkin rings, trims, and decorative accents, Hazel & Bay offers endless creative possibilities for both seasonal and everyday projects. The delicate leaves and botanical details also make beautiful ornaments and embellishments, giving you versatile elements to layer, arrange, and customize your creations with timeless natural charm.
Food safe. The IOD 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, jewelry, and just about anything you can think up in that creative brain of yours.
DIFFERENT MEDIUMS. IOD 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 Air Dry 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.
On 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.
