This beautiful, Lisianthus plaster cast tile, is mounted on a hardwood backing. I find the sculptural qualities of a simple flower, seed pod or Fir cone visually exciting. The life of flowers & plants can be very short lived, the process of casting them is like capturing a moment in time, preserving them to be enjoyed long after they have faded away. The process of casting gives them a beautiful sculptural quality & transforms the items into a work of art. I am happy to take on individual commissions. This tile was made by pressing Lisianthus flowers into clay. They were then removed & plaster poured over to create the cast. When the plaster is dry the clay is peeled away to reveal the raised impression. A small hole is drilled into the back to allow the tile to be hung on a wall, or it can simply be propped up on a shelf. The tiles are also available mounted on a piece hardwood, a dark or light colour & provides a striking contrast, there is a keyhole bracket on the back for hanging up. Please note the mounted tiles are cast thinner to reduce the weight. The plaster used is very hard when set, but the tiles are only suitable for indoor use & you should avoid rooms with lots of condensation & moisture & hanging near a heat source. The tiles are signed on the back. The tile measures 8.5 x 24 x 1.5cm ( 3½ x 9 x ½ ’’ aprox) Wood mount 12 x 28 x 1.5cm (4¾ x 11 x ½ ’’ aprox) Gift Wrapping Service I can provide a gift wrapping service for a small extra cost, for any of the items you buy from me, they are wrapped in bubble wrap first to protect them. The paper is matt Black with Silver text showing the names of various plants & flowers. Tied with metallic Red ribbon to provide a stunning contrast & Christmas feel. The gift tag is Buff craft card, decorated with artificial Red berries Before packing each plaster tile is checked thoroughly & carefully wrapped in several layers of bubble wrap, then packed in a sturdy cardboard box. If framed then extra layers of protection are used to ensure the glass is safe.
