To make the molds for the cast pewter hands, Greeland applied Brush-a-Mold on to his own hands then after allowing to cure, he demolded the mold from his hands and cast pewter into them. He also used Brush-a-Mold to make the molds for the cast brass animal heads.

To make the hoofs, molds were made from real deer hoofs with Brush-a-Mold and then cast in plaster.

To make the finely detailed heads of her intricate elves, she pours the heads in Clay-Shay (available at AVES) which she covers with cloth. Leslie then makes a mold of the cloth covered clay head with Knead-a-Mold.“I appreciate that the Knead-a- Mold picks up such fine detail that I can still cover the head in fabric and that detail still shows through!” she says.
