Plastic risers

Years ago I saw a collection that someone was using plastic risers to make the back row of busts visible. Anyone know what they’re called or have a link to some decent ones? When I tried finding some on Amazon it was cubes that go around something. Thanks in advance.

I went on Amazon and looked under “acrylic risers” and came up with a bunch

I know there is a company that sells them but I do not have a link

You might want to check some place like Michael’s as well

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

Obviously you need the risers to display your recent Bowen Haul

I have bought all of my acrylic risers from The Container Store. They have a bunch of various sizes and they are not very expensive.

They are pretty easy to make, which I do. That allows for custom sizes.

I have seen various posting where people said that they just got various sizes of wooden block form places like Home Depot or Michaels and just either stained them or painted them the color of the shelving they were on and they looked very nice, plus they were inexpensive to customize.

Or you get lucky and find a vase on a thrift store that is exactly the size of the base of your Bowen Angel, and with the necessary height to do the job
