'Hydrangea Large Botanical Cast' by Botanical Art by Diane De Roo
The slender curving stems of these anabelle hydrangeas are gracefully intertwined. Flower heads of all sizes sway above the stems over symmetrical twin leaves. Did you know that the hydrangea symbolizes love? If you look closely you will see that each tiny floret is the shape of a heart!
Product Description:
I create my botanical tiles by first developing a clay mold that captures all the delicate details of the flowers that I collect from my garden. Then I individually handcast each piece in fine plaster. The finished tile captures many tiny details that are often overlooked 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. Framed versions of some of my casts are available under the Framed Botanical Cast collection.
Medium: Hydrocal, a casting plaster that captures fine details.
Dimensions: 6.5" x 12.5" x 1/2" Dimensions may vary slightly as each one is hand-cast.
