Studio and Strategy

Ever wonder how big IOD moulds really are? I measured them all—from ten-inch mermaids to five-inch sunflowers—so you can plan your next project before you pour. Plus, I’ve linked tutorials from the IOD Sisters and Debi Beard to show how size affects design.

There’s a small lamp in my office that never turns off. It’s been glowing through moves, late nights, and seasons of creative chaos — a quiet way of saying you’re home. When its shade was destroyed in the move, I realized the fix might be less about repair and more about joy: choosing a decoupage paper not to match the room, but simply because it makes me smile.
