Address Mold, Border Stone & Birdbath Mold

19 years ago

I am hoping someone here can help me find a copy of the "numbers patterns and

directions" for a Diamond Tech address mold; patterns for the Diamond Tech House

Shaped Border Stone and patterns for the Tiffany Gardens Bird Bath Mold.

I recently attended an auction of a stained glass store and purchased the molds. But not

one included the patterns or directions. I was so excited when I got the bid for the molds, but disappointed when got them home and directions were missing.

I am hoping someone here might have these molds and have used the directions/patterns and could help me out. I am willing to buy them if someone can help.

Please email me....Thank you.

    Is there a company name or contact number anywhere? Can you Google the company and ask for the directions?

    Yes there is Slow, Diamond Tech have a website and they probably have rights to the patterns if they were given with the molds.
    Becky, there's a wealth of info here to help you out with making the stones and no question is a silly one.
    There are a few of the Tiffany Garden books about and I think the patterns you need are in them.
    Good prices should be easily found by doing an internet search.

    I always go to Glass Crafers to window shop for books.

    Thanks for the help. I did exactly as suggested before I posted the request. I Googled the company (Diamond Tech International) and got an email address. I sent them a request but probably too early to hear back yet. I just found the pattern book for the birdbath molds, but the address stone is another matter. The directions & pattern for the numbers come with the mold. I know I can use other types of number patterns, but I am a little confused on how the numbers are set into the mold. Has anyone here ever done the address molds?

    Thanks everyone for your help.

    I have used the address mold alot. My DH built a form to set the mold in. I found when I didn't use one the sides bulged out. I cut the pattern out and extend the contact paper over the mold. I use tape or clothes pins to hold the pattern in place before I pour the cement. You can use all 4 sides of the mold if you want. I have the numbers and would sent you copies if you want them.

    I would love that! If you email me @bfschoen@iowatelecom.net I will send my mailing address. I would be very happy to reimburse you for them. Also, any other suggestions on how you have made them. Thank you so very much.

    Just wanted to thank everyone who responded to my request for the patterns that I was looking for. Within one week, I heard from at least 1/2 dozen people and had several who actually sent me their copies or book of patterns. I CAN'T BELIEVE the generosity of people on these boards. Everyone is so helpful and willing to help one another.

    Another part of this story is the wonderful connections with these people. The first one who emailed me was someone I actually met at the SAMA (Society of American Mosaic Artists) Conference in Mesa last March! She remembered visiting with me and sent me the entire book for the Birdbath Molds. Needless to say, we have a lot of cathching up to do!

    The second person to email me was a gal in Rolla Missouri. She had the patterns for the address stone AND the splashguard/downspout mold! The interesting part of her email was that her husband grew up in the same small town in Iowa that MY HUSBAND grew up in! What are the chances of both of these things happening?! I am just amazed at such fate!

    So, again thank you to everyone who offered suggestions or tips. And thank you to Jacki in Virginia and Sally in Missour for the patterns & new/renewed friendships! And thank you to this board for the help it has been!

    Now I am anxious to start several new projects thanks to my many friends!
