Does anyone know where I can find a CRYSTAL CLUSTER SILICONE MOLD? I have seen those small molds but I wish to find a larger mold.

I haven't found a bigger one yet.

Thanks SoapBuddy for answering my question. I think I'm going to make it myself. Jeez, I really didn't want to go that way. :x

I have real crystals at home and thought about making one. Then I saw the prices for silicone. If you mess up, that's an expensive loss. I hope someone makes one to sell.

Can you post a picture of what you're looking for in a finished piece and give me some dimensions? I've got lots of liquid silicone sitting here. Or, depending on the size of the finished piece, they can often be done with silicone putty (and you can easily do that yourself). I'm going to make a couple of geode molds for myself in the next few weeks.

I've become more of a mold maker than a soap maker in the past few months :)

3 X 3.5" and about 4 ozs. This is the smaller mold.

Thanks, Irena. How much bigger would you want it?

Irena, I'll see if I can buy the crystal(s) locally to make a mold. Or, perhaps borrow a few from collector-friends. In the finished size you're looking for, it's probably about $35 or $40 of silicone.

Little known secret outside of the mold-making community - you can buy resins that will either shrink or expand an original piece and then make molds from those "new" pieces. I've used them with some of my pieces to get bigger/smaller castings.

http://www.industrialpolymers.com/produ ... ing-resin/

So, if I can't find a couple of inexpensive cluster crystals (even the fakes will work) I can cast a larger piece from the small mold.

Let's see what I can find.

Connie

Irena, tried sending to you but feels like PM system is not working, so trying here.

I finally bought a beautiful piece and made the mold. The photos were done quickly without my light box, soap was not cleaned up before taking the pictures. This was poured in plain, clear base. Final piece is about 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 and 3-1/4 tall. It weighs 4 oz.
