'Bleeding Heart, Lavender and Lady’s Mantle' Large Cast by Botanical Art by Diane De Roo

This cast captures the fleeting beauty of the bleeding heart with its dainty heart-shaped flowers dangling delicately from gracefully curving stems. Lavender spikes reach up to the sun, and penstemon peeks out from the side. Underneath this profusion of flowers, the Lady’s Mantle rambles freely.

Product Description:

I create my botanical tiles by first developing a clay mold that captures all the delicate details of the flowers I grow in my garden. The finished pieces  reveal many tiny details that often are not noticed in real life - the tiny hairs on a stem, the intricate flower stamens and pistils, the tracing of veins on a leaf.

As every tile is handmade, the shade of the plaster and the exact dimensions may vary slightly. Each one comes ready to hang.  Famed versions of some of my casts can be found in the Framed Botanical Cast collection. 

Medium: Hydrocal, a fine casting plaster that captures every detail

Dimensions: 6" x 13" x 1/2"  Sizes may vary slightly as each one is hand-cast.
