I just wonder how do I made my own cornice. Sometimes I see some designs which I like and I just wonder how do I duplicate this design so that I can fix it to the ceiling.

By the way is this white powder material called "plaster of paris".

Thanks

Welcome to the forum. There are many companies that specialise in cornice reproduction or custom one off stuff. At $10 - 100 per 4 metre length, it is not worth your while reproducing.

Look up companies like www.plasterproducts.com.au (http://www.whitepages.com.au/wp/search/redirect.jhtml?url=www.plasterproducts.com.au) and check styles etc etc etc.

For example a 4 metre length fancy cornice cost me $19.

Standard BORAL/CSR cove cornice costs approx $1.50 per metre

Postage from Oz to Singapore is a killer though.

Thank you very very much everybody for the link.

I was thinking how nice if I know how to duplicate things which I like , henceforth I would like to learn how to duplicate figurines, designs etc, using plasters such as plaster of paris or whichever that can do the job.

Thanks
