Chanticleer Mould by IOD - Iron Orchid Designs
One single 5” x 7” mould
Chanticleer Mould- The Chanticleer Mould is quintessential to French country aesthetics, welcoming a touch of simpler, rural life into your home. When we picture a classic French farmhouse kitchen, a proud rooster is never far behind, and Chanticleer delivers on that vision with stately elegance. Chanticleer embodies the French heritage, making it a perfect fit for spaces that embrace French country elegance and charm.
Project Ideas for ChanticleerMould:
Chanticleer would make a stunning statement on an IOD Arched Wood Blank in a cozy kitchen nook or strutting his stuff on either side of a set of vintage bookends. If you're dreaming up something more grand, Chanticleer pairs beautifully with the Heraldry Mould for an aesthetic that's both regal and rustic. Let him stand strong as a standalone focal point in your projects or serve as a solid base for composing a more grand relief.
His perfectly symmetrical design comes in a 5”x7” deep form-fitted mould.

IOD Moulds can be used with a range of mediums and are FOOD SAFE.
For upcycling furniture and craft projects we recommend:
Air Dry or Paper Clay:
IOD paper clay is an air dry medium. Like most paper pulp
based air dry clays, some shrinking, warping, and cracking is inherent.
We like these qualities for a distressed, authentically vintage look. You can apply moulded pieces by removing them from the mould while still moist, and
adhering them to the surface with the appropriate glue so it conforms well. For
vertical surfaces, use a piece of low tack tape to hold it in place so it
doesn’t slide.
You can also try Jovi Air Dry White Modelling Clay.
Casting Resin:
We recommend Amazing Casting Resin
Resin has completely different qualities than the paper clay. There is no shrinking or warping, and the castings are more consistent. Depending on the project, these qualities can be helpful. If you need to conform them to a curved surface, this can be done if removed from the mould before it’s completely hardened.
For Les Cloches mould you could use Pentart's Super Glass Resin for a clear, glass like effect.
