Imprint Casts - Scalloped Botanical Postage Stamp Snowdrops - Small

This cast is part of a collection of postage stamp inspired works by the casting artist Katy Eccles. Using a bespoke two part casting frame Katy has created this unique design which mimics the shape of a traditional stamp and the finished cast consists of a recessed botanical portrait surrounded by a scalloped plaster frame. Katy used a snowdrop gathered from the woodland around her studio and carefully pressed it into soft clay. It was then delicately removed, leaving behind a beautifully detailed botanical impression. A special plaster blend was then poured over the clay to preserve the intricate imprint and the surrounding scalloped frame, transforming it into a permanent piece of art. The plaster behind the flower head has been carefully hand painted in a pale pastel blue and the scalloped frame in a contrasting taupe tone. This piece comes ready to hang with a hanging device attached to the reverse. There are two sizes available so you might wish to pair this with a larger version and hang as a set.
