Specimens Mould by Iron Orchid Designs. 10" x 6" silicone mold for use with clay and resin. Food safe for use with fondant and more.

Introducing the Specimens Mould by IOD, a tribute to academia and the fascination with beetles! This silicone mould celebrates the IOD Sisters' childhood memories of dusty books and pinned insects. As with all IOD moulds, Specimens Mould is food safe, making it ideal for foodies to create chocolates and other edible treats with ease.

Crafted with a nod to academia, this mould offers endless creative possibilities. Paint the castings with metallic greens and blacks for a lifelike touch. Perfect for shadow boxes adorned with gold bamboo from the Faux Bois Mould and botanical elements from the Fronds Botanical transfer. This mould pairs perfectly with Pastiche stamp for mixed media projects and for creating 3D effects. Consider using all of the wonderful Pentart products to adorn your critters!

Beetle-inspired decor transcends styles, fitting gothic allure or bohemian charm effortlessly. Whether displayed in shadow boxes or as motifs on wallpapers, beetles add character to any design theme.

Rest assured, all specimens from IOD moulds are ethically sourced, crafted from clay or resin for guilt-free creativity. Enjoy crafting with peace of mind, knowing no beetles were harmed in the process.

What's new about the latest IOD Moulds?

An added feature of all new IOD molds is the notation of both liquid and solid weights next to each mold cavity, making it so easy to know exactly what to measure out without waste.  No more over-mixed resin or guessing how much clay or other medium you need for your project!


IOD Silicone Molds are among the finest and prettiest molds on the market. All of the designs are unique and have a degree of detail not found in any other molds available. Artistically inspired designs that draw on both classic elements and modern design, IOD molds are perfectly suited to furniture design and upcycle, jewelry making, soap making and home décor crafts. Made from high quality silicone, IOD molds are both food safe and oven safe and can be used with a variety of mediums, from air dry paper clay, polymer clay and resin to sugar molded edibles, such as candy, cookies, fondant, chocolate and pie crust--just be sure to use separate molds for your crafts and edibles.

**Winter Shipping Advisory regarding DIY PAINT**

DIY Paint is a water-based paint that can be damaged if allowed to freeze. During the winter season, I am very selective in how and when I ship your paint orders. 

If temperatures fall below freezing, and in order to ensure that your receive your paint in good condition, DIY paint will ship on Mondays through Wednesdays, generally via Priority Mail. .Therefore, if you place an order on Thursday, it will not ship until Monday, I do offer a heated shipping option, which is available for purchase.  If you have ordered other non paint products in the same order, your entire order will be shipped at the same time.

Route Protection is mandatory for the shipment of all DIY Paint and Products.

In some cases, depending upon your location, you may be contacted for additional shipping when Priority Mail charges exceed standard shipping costs.

If the temperatures in your area are below freezing, you are fully responsible for bringing your paint inside immediately upon delivery to avoid freezing.
