A sculpting kit is provided that allows individuals with a means to sculpt a three-dimensional object. Components which form the armature of the three-dimensional object may be adfixed to a planar surface as two-dimensional elements. The sculptured object may be prepared by using the kit to lay down successive layers of structures in a pre-arranged fashion.

A reverse molded, plant-on decorative panel component comprises a panel portion lying on a first plane, a skirt portion, and a contoured portion. The skirt portion has a first surface adapted to be exteriorly disposed and an opposite second surface adapted to be interiorly disposed in order to be adhesively secured to a planar surface. The contoured portion extends outwardly from and surrounds the panel portion and interconnects and is integral with the panel portion and the skirt portion. The skirt portion extends peripherally about the contoured portion.

Aspects of this disclosure relate generally to relief sculptures, and more particularly to methods of creating relief sculptures, kits for creating relief sculptures, and the relief sculptures themselves. A method may include, for example, contacting a transparent plate and a first surface of a pliable sheet, the first surface of the pliable sheet comprising an image, wherein at least a portion of the image is visible through the transparent plate, applying a sculpting medium to a portion of the transparent plate that corresponds to an image feature visible through the transparent plate, and adhering a second surface of the pliable sheet to the transparent plate, the sculpting medium, or both, such that the image feature corresponds to the sculpting medium.
