Spring Garden
The 6x10” Spring Garden Mould is inspired by classic cabbage-leaf crockery, complete with the intentional veining that makes those pieces so beautiful in glaze or paint. The cabbage leaf was the starting point for this set, and with extra space in the mould, we added some favorite spring garden vegetables—plus a little snail companion (just for funsies!).
The cabbage leaf casts beautifully and can be shaped into a small trinket dish or used as part of spring tablescaping. The elements can also be cut apart and built up for signage, layered projects, or paired with the bunnies from Les Lapin for a full spring scene. From carrots that would make an adorable Easter garland to standalone vegetable motifs, this set celebrates the charm of spring garden finds in a versatile, easy-to-use format we know our makers will adore.
Dimensions: 6" x 10"

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.
