PLEASE NOTE FOR INTERNATIONAL ORDERS, OUTSIDE THE UK, I NEED YOUR PHONE NUMBER TO PUT ON THE SHIPPING & CUSTOMS LABEL This beautiful, limited edition Allium plaster cast tile, is mounted on a hardwood backing. One of my neighbours, Pat, kindly supplied the Allium seed head. I am going to try growing my own this year. It is a limited edition of 100 & more than half of them are already sold, as the edition gets nearer to 100 the price will go up. 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. Many other items can be cast, an old set of dividers, a simple bottle opener or old key. 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 an Allium seed head into clay. It was 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, this one is dark stained Ash & 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. They are signed & numbered on the back & are limited editions. They are made to order, therefore I do not accept returns if you change your mind. This tile measures 12 x 12 x 1.5 cm (4¾ x 4¾ x ½'' aprox) Wood mount 16.5 x 16.5 x 1.5 cm (6½ x 6½ x ½'' aprox) Before packing each plaster tile is checked thoroughly & carefully wrapped in several layers of bubble wrap, then packed in a sturdy cardboard box INTERNATIONAL DELIVERY I need your email & phone number to put on the postage label, it is not possible to send the order without this information I also run plaster casting workshops in the North East of England UK Allium Small Plaster Cast Plaque, Botanical Art, Flower Tile, Nature Gifts For Her, Birthday Gifts, Home
