Old molding tools

I was talking about the process of making artificial flowers in a previous article. For the molding step, the artificial flower maker needs tools to mold the petals and leaves.
These molds have 2 parts where the fabric previously cut with a cutter that has the same shape. See what they can do!
More than tools, they are real beautiful craftsmen jewels made at the image of nature. They permit to give more vein details to petals and leaves. I love these old tools, telling us a story and transmitting a savoir-faire from the past.

Here is a test of my ancient tools that I use in addition to my modern iron with removable tools also called French molds (for foreign countries).
