The clay is encased in a mould and a strong plaster of paris mix is poured into that mold to create this unique art form of delecate detailed botanicals. The clay is used to create a mould and a strong plaster of paris mix is poured into that mold to create this unique art form of delecatedetailed botanicals. 

From this original master a silicone mould can be made which is used to make a limited number of concrete casts,  each one being handmade and unique. The new ciment fondu looks black/bronze and is finished by lightly polishing with Lavender marble wax. This botanical panel can be displayed indoors or outside. After several months of weathering outside the colour will become a beautiful dark grey.

Each cast is supplied with hanging device.

Prices for concrete casts vary depending on size and the type of cement used.
