Three Alliums, Plaster Cast Wall Art Tile, botanical art, flower tile, gardeners gift, Birthday gift, Anniversary gift, popular
This beautiful plaster cast tile was made using three Allium seed heads from my garden to create the impression. It would make a treasured gift for anyone who loves plants & flowers.
The life of flowers and plants is 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 casting process gives them a beautiful sculptural quality & transforms the items into a work of art. I am happy to take popular on individual commissions, maybe you have some favourite flowers you would like to be preserved.
This plaque was made by pressing the plants 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. Two keyhole brackets are set into into the back to allow the tile to be hung on a wall with 2 screws, or it can simply be propped up on a shelf. The plaster used is very hard when set, but the plaques are only suitable for indoor use & you should avoid rooms with lots of condensation & moisture. They are signed on the back & made to order, therefore I do not accept returns if you change your mind.
The plaque measures 40 x 15 x 1.5cm
All the plaques I make are available in the natural colour of the plaster - white, or with colour added – Dark Blue, Olive Green, Rust Red or Brown. Please note colours and tiles may differ slightly from what you see on the screen, they are made to order.
Before packing each plaster tile is checked thoroughly & carefully wrapped in several layers of bubble wrap, then packed in a sturdy cardboard box.
