Missing Pieces
I forgot that I had this wonderful chinoiserie screen in my garage. It came from Canada and was my husband's grandmothers'. I always liked it....and it could be perfect for my dining room. There is only one problem...
It has several missing pieces. I think they are carved bone? I know it is not ivory. It might even be plastic? I have sourced, all over the net for something that would work.
Then I remembered something about making a mold....more searching, and I found this stuff
You mix equal parts of the purple and white together
It's non toxic, so you can use your hands. Once you get a uniform color
You press it over the image you want to make a mold from
Wait 25 minutes, and then peal it off
Now you need to fill the mold. So, I used this stuff
Mix according to directions
Pour into molds, and wait until....no specific time at least 30 minutes depending on size (makes sense)
I smoothed the top with a spatula
Here are two of the ones I made....I think this will look great, once I paint it.
Hopefully, I will have the "after" next week. What are you working on?
