Holly Products collection of 'people' moulds are clearly defined and made of a hard resin with a non-stick surface making removal from the mould easy.
The moulds are very versatile taking a wide selection of mediums including sugar, marzipan, cold porcelain and polymer clays i.e. Fimo and Sculpey. Chocolate and boiled sugar have also been used although this is the only time when the mould would need a little oiling prior to use.
All the head moulds are one part moulds, giving detailed features and allowing you to mould a rounded back. This is easily achieved by inserting the paste into the mould followed by a compressed paper modelling ball and forming the excess paste around the back of the ball. (note: compressed paper balls are inedible and not suitable for sugarpaste models which are to be given to children). The baby fist mould is also a one part mould.
All the limb moulds are two part moulds, providing you with a top and a bottom to form the front and back to the leg, boot, shoe, arm or hand.
All of the moulds come with simple body making instructions and templates. The multiple and single sized head moulds would generally have rigid bodies and each mould is supplied with easy to use body patterns, together with further instructions on modelling using cold porcelain. The miniature head moulds are supplied with simple and flexible unique body making instructions, these use body kits consisting of pipe cleaners, pins and hair, enabling you to adjust and pose the miniature body and make simple hair styles.
