Title: Looking for stencils that emboss or stamp foam with cobblestone pattern
Post by: bishop odo on March 11, 2015, 03:01:56 AM

A few day ago I was searching the web and found an Italian web site that had
Stencils or stamps that would emboss blue foam, They had many different patters from fan cobbles and brick and herring bone brick. 

I did not bookmark the site, and haven't  been able to find it again.  Anyone thinks this sounds familiar?

Sounds lovely.

I'll cheerfully follow this to take advantage of any answers you elicit.

No matter if that's the one; I've bookmarked this one immediately. That looks like very useful stuff indeed! :D

If you want a cheap method that requires a little bit of work, there are some molds you can sometimes find in cake decorating places that would work...though the most common work better for more regular brick type looks though I have seen one that would work for cobblestone. The thing is that they're not heavily sturdy on their own, but if you back them with a piece of wood and attach a handle, they work rather well.

How about checking your browsers history? Or is yours set to daily autoclean? If not, you should find it there.

I made my own, which seemed to work pretty well. I scribed my pattern onto a block of blue foam, then cast it using herculite (though any tough plaster would do, suspect plaster of paris would crack). Did it with a big block of plaster so it was touch. Then just lined it up and pressed it into the foam.

Some piccies:
