When my son was 5 months old I was already wishing he would never grow up and would stay my little bear cub forever. I decided to capture the moment by creating the pictured pendant. It is something he has touched, for me to treasure and wear close to my heart.
The Fingerprint Series is now available for others to purchase to capture their own moments. Available to Yeppoon and Rockhampton customers. Please contact me to schedule your in person finger impresson appointment before purchasing a listing from the online store.
DURING YOUR APPOINTMENT: Your little ones finger or toe will be pressed directly into a silver clay which once fired becomes your special keepsake. It is then taken back to the studio to be shaped and personalised as you like.
IN THE STUDIO: Your clay impression will be fired, filed, sanded, patina & and polished to reveal a 99% silver keepsake. Due to the handmade nature of my work it can take between 2-4weeks to complete and deliver.
Suitable ages:
I am happy to take impressions at any age, however please keep in mind that fingerprints of young children may be too soft to imprint detail and we may need to try a toe, or perhaps wait until they are a little older.
The most popular time to have this done is in a childs first 6 months. Although I can not guarantee the actual swirls of a fingerprint will transfer onto the jewellery, most parents still prefer to capture the tiny shape of their little ones finger or toe (like little Archie's finger and toe pictured below).
