Les Lapins Mould by IOD - Iron Orchid Designs

The IOD Les Lapins Mould by Iron Orchid Designs measures 6x10 inches and serves as an essential tool for enhancing French Country cottage-style interiors during spring. This mould features designs that enable the creation of classic Easter scenes, with rabbits crafted in a traditional statuary style reminiscent of vintage English cement garden sculptures from the mid-20th century. Such elements provide a sophisticated aesthetic suitable for a variety of crafting applications.

Complementing the rabbits are a vintage-inspired Easter egg adorned with flourishes and a bow, drawn from designs in early decorator catalogs like those featuring William Morris's rabbit motifs, along with coordinating floral and ornamental pieces from similar archival sources, including influences from 19th-century French artist Henri-Charles Guérard's woodcut "Les Lapins" (1893). These versatile, timeless designs adapt seamlessly to mediums such as air-dry clay, resin, or chocolate, facilitating projects like framed art pieces or seasonal decorations.

IOD Les Lapins Mould by Iron Orchid Designs Mould by IOD - Iron Orchid Designs is a Silicone Decor Mold with Dimensions of 6" x 10".

Use with our IOD Air Dry Clay, which was formulated to work with all of our IOD Moulds, or Amazing Casting Resin by Alumilite, which offers a near perfect cosmetic casting.

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.

Casting resins: There are some great pourable resins available, like Amazing Casting Resin. These have completely different qualities than the IOD Air Dry 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.
