Hist
ory in Bloom
Born in 1908, Isabel Scherer began sculpting with clay as a young child. Creative and curious she briefly studied
painting at the Art Institute of Chicago before studying sculpture at the Stone City Art Colony under American
Master, Grant Wood in the early 30’s. It was there she met a gifted artist, John Bloom who would later become
her husband in 1938.
Inspired by her experience at Stone City, Isabel continued sculpting. Her subjects
ranged from animals and children to whimsical figures of mermaids and strong
portrayals of women. In the late 40’s and 50’s, Isabel began experimenting with her art,
replicating the bronze sculpture of the Victorian era using concrete or cast stone.
She developed the technique of “greening” by mixing blue and green dyes with water
and fine white powdered cement to resemble the bronze and green shades of Victorian
garden sculpture she so admired.
It was then when she developed her own technique which is the
same basic process still used by the company today. In recent years,
the selection of finishes has expanded to include weathered bronze,
green, vintage rose, garden moss rose, multicolor and verdigris.
The creation of original sculpture for the Isabel Bloom collection rests
in the talented hands of designer, Donna Young, Isabel’s long-time
protégé who continues to preserve Isabel’s unique style.

Love shots…snap shots…remember the times
Our unique Little Bloom sculptures coupled
with your favorite photographs
are a great way to showcase
life’s most memorable moments!
For starters, if you’re thinking of giving framed
“Blooms” as gifts this year, you now have many
more options. Our frame sizes go from the
5 1/2" square, to 5"x7" and 8"x10" and in many
cases, you can now add your own photo,

occasion.
We are “bringing out of the vault” for this year only, not one but two of Isabel’s original designs; the

Isabel Bloom is pleased to announce our partnership with Habitat for Humanity. Their mission is “to
work in partnership with God and people from all walks of life to build simple, decent, affordable
housing and improve our community so all people can live as God intended.” Our Habitat Pineapple
was designed especially to help with this cause. For every pineapple purchased by our customers at
any of our retail stores, we will donate $5 to Habitat.
Also, don’t miss out on our Limited Edition designs like the “Goldfinch”, or the designs that will be
retiring this year. Both Limited Edition and Retiring designs are available only until December 31, 2011.
Now, I know you’re anxious to take a look inside, so I won’t keep you any longer. Happy shopping!
Sincerely,

We make concrete Bloom
Handcrafted by local, talented artisans, each piece takes four to five days to complete a one-of-a-kind work of art
treasured by collectors and gift givers alike.
2
STEP ONE: The Design
STEP TWO: Mold Making
The original design for each Isabel Bloom sculpture is first sketched, then sculpted
in clay, capturing the unique, expressive style of the artist.
A first mold is formed by brushing the original clay sculpture with many thin layers
of latex. Plaster is then hand-applied over the latex providing support for the
detailed inner mold.
STEP THREE: Casting
STEP FOUR: Cast Removal
Once cured, each Isabel Bloom mold is transported to the casting room where a
prepared mixture of cement, water, rock and choice selections of color pigments
are hand-poured into the mold.
Having set overnight, the concrete cast is taken from the mold and prepared for handfinishing. Each sculpture varies slightly in color and texture so no two are ever alike.
STEP FIVE: Finishing Processes
Green and Vintage Rose
To create our Green and Vintage Rose finish, we begin with a sculpture that has a base color
of either green or rose. A mixture of white cement and water is applied by brush and
rubbed off by hand and sponges to highlight the detail of the sculpture. Decorative
materials are carefully applied to certain sculptures.
Weathered Bronze
Multicolor
Our Weathered Bronze finish is created by brushing green tinted cement on a brown
cast sculpture. The color is then rubbed off to reveal the rich undertones. After curing
for no less than 24 hours, a mixture of white cement and water is applied by brush
and once again rubbed off by hand and sponges to highlight the detail of the
sculpture. Decorative materials such as stones or glass are carefully applied to
certain sculptures.
Those sculptures chosen to receive additional color are hand painted with either waterbased paints or a mixture of cement pigments and white cement. After curing for no less
than 24 hours, a mixture of white cement and water is applied by brush and rubbed off by
hand and sponges to highlight the detail of the sculpture. Decorative materials are
carefully applied to certain sculptures.
Garden Moss Rose
Verdigris
After cast removal, the rose-based concrete sculpture is placed in an acid
bath to replicate years of weathering. Next, multiple layers of latex paint are hand-applied and sponged off to further enhance the aged appearance of the sculpture.
Brown and black pigment, white cement and water are mixed together and applied by
brush and hands to a green base sculpture. The color mixture is then pulled off the
sculpture with wet sponges and brushes to highlight the line details of the sculpture.
STEP SIX: Clear Resin Application
A clear resin is applied to each sculpture, (excluding Garden Moss Rose), providing a slight sheen that adds reflective qualities and surface protection. Each Isabel Bloom sculpture requires four to five days to complete.
STEP SEVEN: Signature
Finally, each completed sculpture is signed “Isabel Bloom” by a trained artisan, followed by the copyright symbol and the year of introduction of that particular design. “U.S.A.” is then
added to assure you that any sculpture purchased in any of our Isabel Bloom stores was made right here by our very own skilled artisans.

The deep, rich tones of green and rose create a weathered, aged patina to enhance the
detail of every design adding warmth and character.
Although designed for the outdoors, we recommend bringing your sculpture inside
when temperatures drop below freezing to help keep them free from cracks or damage
caused by cold weather.

NEW for March
Dancing in the Rain
9" tall
$46.00
$49.00
Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass,
it’s about learning to dance in the rain.
The Quad Cities Race for the Cure is held annually in
June on John Deere Commons in Moline, Illinois and
October in Des Moines, Iowa. Both events are
affiliates of the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
This year, a portion of the proceeds from “Dancing in the Rain” will be donated to
both organizations in support of Breast Cancer research.
The partnership between Isabel Bloom and Race for the Cure began in 1995
with “Hugs”, one of the most popular Isabel Bloom creations. Each annual design
developed for the Race for the Cure is signed with the RFTC insignia, making the
sculptures collector’s items. To date, over $400,000 in sculptures have been
donated to the Race for the Cure in support of breast cancer awareness.
Habitat for Humanity
In keeping with the annual tradition, Isabel Bloom will, for the 24th
consecutive year, provide an exclusive design variation of an existing
sculpture from the line for Quad City Arts Festival of Trees which is held
each year in November.
To date, proceeds from
the Isabel Bloom
sculptures
exclusive to Quad City
Arts Festival of Trees,
have exceeded
$250,000 for the arts
agency which in turn engages more than 350,000 people in the Quad
City community with nearly 400 quality arts performances and activities
annually.
Selected sculptures are also made available each year to the Des Moines
Festival of Trees and Lights hosted by the Iowa Health Foundation to
benefit Blank Children’s Hospital and the Child Life and Advocacy &
Outreach programs.

Isabel Bloom is pleased to announce our partnership with
Habitat for Humanity in support of their mission “to work in
partnership with God and people from all walks of life to
build simple, decent, affordable housing and improve our
community so all people can live as God intended.”
Isabel Bloom has once again
partnered with the DOVE
committee, or “Domestic
Violence Ends” to create an
exclusive sculpture called
“Angel of Hope”, through Family
Resources, Inc.
Our Habitat Pineapple was designed especially to help with
this cause. For every pineapple purchased by customers
at any of our retail stores, we will donate $5 to Habitat for
Humanity.
In addition, completion of each home in the Quad Cities
and Des Moines in 2011 will be marked by a dedication
ceremony at which the partner family receives one of our
new multicolor pineapples from Isabel Bloom.
