Most of my custom work is done with human finger or toe prints, however recently I have been gaining recognition and clientele looking to have their pets immortalized.
Today I am highlighting 3 pieces I have done recently that I adore.
I often get the privilege of entering someones life for a moment, and get to share in their story. Late last year I was contacted by a lovely woman in Australia who was going through the heartache of a terminally ill pet, something I could connect with and made me love this project even more.
This is Milay's paw print, I was saddened to hear of Milay's passing just after the print was taken. I am so glad I was able to capture her print in something her biggest fan could wear close to her heart forever.
Christmas is often a hard time to find the perfect gift for the person with everything. I was approached to make a quite a few unique items, here is one that I really love that was made for a gentleman.
This is a large golf ball marker with the owners dog's nose print on it. I love how it turned out. Here is the adorable Manny's very Manly nose

The great thing about animal prints is the amount of detail you can pick out in the final product. Look close & you can see the fur & whisker lines on the nose.
This next piece was custom created for my cousin's girlfriend. Between them they have 3 beautiful dogs. Wanting to get something that represented each of the dogs we created this necklace:
As weight can become an issue for a wearable piece, we decided to do the nose print of the puppy & take the fingerprint of the larger dogs (yes dogs have fingerprints). It is amazing how different the prints were between the two breeds of dog. I am really happy how this turned out. Talk about sentimental, totally unique & beloved.
I have been given a challenge to come up with something on a horse that I can print & that can be worn... So far everything looks huge.. Any idea's?
Golf Ball markers is such a unique idea! I love it! Would have never thought of that.
