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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChanticleer 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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHis perfectly symmetrical design comes in a 5”x7” deep form-fitted mould.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eProduct Information:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eIOD Décor Moulds can be used with many different mediums.

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. Our favourite way to apply moulded pieces is to remove them from the mould while still moist and adhere 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCasting resins:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThere are some great pourable resins available. These have 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReleasing your casting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eWe find that most of the time a release is not necessary and the casting will come out without the use of a release, however, if you are having trouble with the material sticking (more common with clays than resins), a light dusting of simple cornstarch or arrowroot is a great choice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasurement: 5″ x 7″\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iron Orchid Designs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47355990409440,"sku":"IOD-MOU-CTC","price":43.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0494\/2689\/0916\/files\/ChanticleerMould.png?v=1747699052","url":"https:\/\/banksiabloomstudio.com.au\/products\/iron-orchid-designs-chanticleer-decor-mould","provider":"Banksia Bloom Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
