Embossed wall hanger copied

Post by Evert van der Plas »

Something different this time, i bough a vintage embossed wall decoration on a slate plate, it was made in France and made from Celluloid so i think it is from the 50s or even before that.
i took the decoration off the plate to make a mold from it and turned out very well, made a few casting impressions from it to play with. i used a hard plaster for it to make the copies.
When they where completely dry i decide to paint one with oil color and the other two in a ivory color. Next thing is finding a nice wooden olive wood plate to attach them or possible make one on a tackle box - float box from walnut.

making the mold with a two component silicone rubber

Finished the mold and came out very nice

Every detail is taken over

Very pleased with the result so far

Another gem Evert. Keep-em coming.

Very nice indeed That moulding medium has picked out the detail lovely. I think the Ivory one does it best for me and I can see that on a lovely wooden plaque/shield as an award for a fishing competition or similar.
