Hey friend! You know what's really cool? I press actual botanicals into clay to create molds for plaster bas relief. It's such a fascinating process! I carefully arrange real plants and flowers on a clay surface and press them down gently, capturing their intricate details. Then, I pour plaster over the mold and let it set. Once the plaster is dry, I remove the clay, revealing a stunning bas relief artwork that captures the essence of those botanicals. It's like a beautiful fusion of nature and sculpture, and it never ceases to amaze me. I love how this technique allows me to preserve the natural forms and textures of the plants in a three-dimensional artwork. It's a truly unique way of celebrating the beauty of the botanical world.
