Unbelievable beauty from simple molds! |

David Prussen is an artist.... no, maybe not with canvas and brush, but an artist just the same. An ordinary person, much the same as you and I, yet one who appreciates beauty and craved that old Victorian plaster on his ceilings and walls. A man with an "artist's eye" for placement, for the smooth flow of a unique design, with a passion (much the same as mine) for the shadowy beauty of cast plaster... raised like a tower of sculpture off his level ceiling. Ah the discussions we have had by phone of how those scrumptious and highly ornate ceiling of days gone by are making their way back in to popularity in homes all across the country. Like me, he found it difficult finding sources for the molds to create his own. But our two minds have met and look what resulted! David used a combination of 4 molds to create this exquisite design around his ceiling fixture. Each is pictured below with a link directly to it's product page. David was just as elated with his creation as I am and the greatest thing about it is that it's so darned easy! To have this design applied by a professional literally would cost hundreds of dollars, but you and I can do it with simple joint compound, a little imagination and some molds. So what are we waiting for? Release YOUR creativity and add some beauty to that blank canvas on YOUR ceiling! Here's what David had to say: Hi Victoria - Here's my latest attempt at plaster ceiling design. I used your bell flower drapes and small rosettes to circle the cartouche and swag. The bell flowers work great although they need a little more care than the other designs. Overall the effect is just stunning. It has the "feel" that I was looking for. ... I'm working on a design idea for my dining room and will be in touch soon for some more molds.. Thanks again Victoria and I'll talk to you soon - Regards - David I can't wait to see what else he comes up with! Thank you, Thank you David! Talk to you soon!
