Invitation Only Mould by IOD - Iron Orchid Designs

Introducing the IOD Invitation Only Mould, a collection of personified animals that capture the essence of eccentricity and fun, blending seamlessly with apothecary and academia themes. This set is infused with quirk, embodying a spirit of fun and playfulness (not everything in your decor needs to be serious!) 

Perfect for crafting a charming mini gallery or symmetrical Christmas ornaments, Invitation Only adds whimsy and delight. It's designed to complement our Conservatory Labels Mould and Alphabet Stamps, making it a versatile choice for projects on IOD wood blanks.

Imagine transforming a wood blank into a shadow box-style display or creating a curio filled with botanicals and tucking in a few Invitation Only characters for a bit of fun. Invitation Only encourages you to mix and match different items, allowing for personalized creations that showcase your unique style.

P.S. The IOD Sisters want you to know that the kitty in this collection is affectionately known as Sir Purrseus from the Catswolds. We’d love to know the names you come up with for the other characters in this mould.

Handy Tip: When using air-dried clay, you can experience some shrinkage. Watch our Mould 101 video to learn some techniques to address gapping or cracking that might occur in the drying process. If you want to avoid any shrinkage, use resin for your castings. 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.

Size: Silicone Mould Dimensions: One single 6" x 10" mould.

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.
