Thanks to all who have ordered their little Plant Spirit casts. I shipped out a bunch of them today so they should arrive soon at your place.
I made a little test with them yesterday. I got my little prototype test figurine which has been outside in all weathers for over one month and still, it has not forfeit any of its details and colour.
Since I was so concerned about the post service (they like to break things), I took the Plant Spirit and let it fall on hard stone ground. It merely lost one leaf and some paint!
If the post breaks them, I really, really wonder what they do with the stuff they deliver. And don't worry, they are wrapped in tons of bubble-foil, so nothing should happen to them.
I also changed the green spirits a little. I put in even more effort and gave them more colour/contrast and depth. Instead of pure green, they now got some hints of reds, browns, yellows but still, mostly greens.
About the materials which the figurines are made of. I used a very durable mixture of acrylate dispersion and mineral hardening powder which allowed the cast to be placed outdoors all the time. One of my prototypes (already painted) already spends its first month outside and survived wind, pouring rain and the hottest sun, dampness and cold (yeah our summer was quite like that) and it's still outside, laying next to our herbs, sleeping happily. : D
The cast paste took all of the details of the original figurine so it's very authentic to it which I'm quite happy of. :]
there are plenty of green little Plant Spirits. Don't confuse them with Broccoli though otherwise it might end up in your sauce pan.
