Holy moly this is precious! This pop-out 2-D, 3D effect of this ceramic pottery ornament allows you to see and feel the raised hand and foot of the baby. The cherished keepsake needs to be fired twice in the kiln and many steps in between to achieve this final piece. The glaze firing is what gives this its smooth glass like finish.

How I begin

I have worked hard to create the perfect mold to capture and create all the detail in the child’s hand and footprint. Once your have placed an order, a mold will be sent out 1 to 3 days after. Easy instructions are sent to make the perfect print. When finishing this process, you will then ship the mold back with your order form naming your choice of shape, color and writing style. Once I receive the handprints, I transfer it to ceramic in a way that allows it to keep its detail. After the initial kiln bisque firing, glaze of your choice is painted and the plaque is kiln fired again. The process in whole takes approximately 10 weeks after I receive mold back. Much time is due to transferring, etching, detailing, drying, cleaning, kiln firing twice, glaze painting and finishing with writing baby information on back, adding ribbon and securely packaging up to be sent out.
