Tulips Mould by IOD - Iron Orchid Designs

Perfect for spring, the IOD Tulips Mould by Iron Orchid Designs measures 6x10” and draws inspiration from an 1838 pencil sketch sourced from Paris, reflecting the era's botanical artistry during a time when French Impressionists like Monet and Manet captured vibrant tulip fields and still lifes. This versatile mould allows for creating full bouquets or individual blooms, featuring large bloom heads that stand alone and stems designed for easy extension in various applications.

The petals exhibit an organic sense of movement derived from the vintage reference, while the leaves showcase detailed veining and natural curl characteristic of IOD moulds. Multiple elements enable the construction of diverse arrangements, such as those built within arched or oval wood blanks, or paired with complementary moulds like Spring Garden or Les Lapins for Easter signage.

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.
