Create perfect mandala stones with our specially re-designed mold - which guarantees flawless stones for your artistic endeavours. We've made significant improvements to this #4 mold, ensuring that it now features a self-supporting bottom to eliminate any unevenness in the casting surface.
The Art Stone Mold Design #4 casting dimensions of 4.5 inches (11.5cm) in width and 1.5 inches (3.5cm) in height. The Super Flex stencil measures 5 x 5 inches / 13 x 13 cm. It will relax around these surfaces without bouncing back and shifting as regular stencils do. It is ideal for wrapping around cylindrical objects - such as tumblers, plant pots, jars and so much more!
Made from quality robust non-toxic silicone
No more worries about finding the center - we've done the hard work for you by including a small center mark in the mold, perfect for starting your mandala. Alternatively, a gentle sanding will completely remove the mark from the casting. Plus, with this reusable mold, you can create as many stones as you desire! It's suitable for a wide range of stone art applications.
A youtube clip to demonstrate the process of making the art stones is at www.youtube/c/happydottingcompany "How to Make Art Stones Including Hints and Tips"
Making art stones is easy! The Process to make your art stones/rocks - You will need to purchase the gypsum powder or a casting powder separately to make your stones/rocks - I like using Ultracal 30 (highest strength gypsum - it is harder, heavier and better for painting than plaster of paris). However most casting powders work really well eg Dental Plaster, Hydrocal plasters or other casting plasters are available from hardware shops. This mold uses 142g / 5oz water add 375 g / 13.2 oz of Ultracal 30 powder per art stone made. Mix the casting powder with water following the directions provided with the mixture. Pour into the mould. Wait approximately 6 hours or overnight. This is the fun bit! - Turn out your art stone/rock. It comes out beautifully smooth! Allow to dry properly for about a week. So much joy painting it!!
