Hello girls, I felt the need to make this post because many now are your demands to know where to find the molds of my casts.
posting this post I hope to answer most questions that I usually do, especially via e-mail and if I forgot something, or have any other questions please tell me so I can enter the answers in this post, so that they are visible and helpful to all.
Next to the blog, I also created a link that takes you back to this post whenever you need it.
The argument is different then begin immediately with the answer that I often find myself having to give.
.
THE DIES OF HEART OUT OVER YOU SEE IS THE COMPANY EBERHARD FABER THAT DO NOT PRODUCE MORE, fimo polymer clay and is only a number and color for schools.
I bought them many years ago to fix opitec hobby, a company online where you usually buy many things such as plaster, wax and more, is serious and fast.
And now I do not understand why I can give you a precise answer on most of my molds.
Here they are:
these are only those of hearts
and follow all other
above and below these are the Christmas
see that not exaggerating when I said that I had so many?
Easter
various subjects
And keep in mind that they are all stuck close together (because there are), but even so you have no idea how many models are still, even for this I am preparing an album to put in the blog with all tuttissimi models I have, but imagine the amount of work, but for you this and other
are 10 years collect them, but for this it is impossible for me to remember where i got them, many do not even carry the brand, but only a numerical code, others have been discontinued as mentioned above, but one thing I can tell, hobby shops I've never found one and I say one, (at least I come from) apart at the fair in Vicenza for the printing of those small fimo two years ago! I know this discourage you, but it is.
So what? Then to the imagination, we start from the web, I started from there and fix dall'opitec hobby, they have quite a bit ', just to start, then I have taken from Hobbyland and others?
have to go a bit 'back in time.
before proceeding with chalk, experimenting with candles and do not spend € 20 for a mold, I used impromptu press and started to train the eye and see a strange container as a potential mold (tubs of ice cream, jars of shampoo, etc.) for colarvi into the wax.
's so I bought the first molds for casting, the famous ones at heart in relief, then used them to make candles and soap, just 10 years ago.

It also works to find creative eye for plaster molds and research ranges from food-grade silicone, expensive, but fabulous, the bowls disposable like these:
where I got them.
Where? Everywhere: stalls, discount stores, supermarkets, web, home shopping, E-BAY, always looking with creative eye and looking, looking and looking.
Then as I like you I always want new things, I am an engineer and a bit 'I make the prototype with the clay and I create the mold from one form to form, which also found that the opitec. It is a substance which when dissolved with heat and becomes liquid should be poured over the prototype. Once they cooled off from the clay and if it came the pan well, you pass a second component that makes it resistant to heat and water. Here's an example
To achieve this
curses and moments of discouragement never fail because it is not easy and I often botched, ruining mold , plaster and even the original, but when I get as good as this is a great satisfaction.
Unfortunately I have ruined many molds with wax, and even I am more able to find them for repurchase (magari!) others such as letters and numbers have never been able to buy them because when I was already unavailable (always eberhard faber) and I have remained in the heart.
Here girls, I hope the tips and references that I have given, there might have been useful or at least comforted that are not easy to come by and waiting for the companies produce models more interesting ... hidden object and good hunting!
