Reverse Molds

Just finished working on some reverse molds that were requested by some of my clients!  Very cute and a great way to make your piece different.  These allow your little one's hands and feet to jump out of the platter instead of into the platter.  The raised prints require extra steps, but are definitely worth it.  Plus, the molds I use can be kept to make more prints or actually framed (Contact Demetria at Plain Jane Frames or Corie with Jonesyworks for ideas on that). 

Also, I am currently working on restoring someone's piece that was broken years after the actual printing.  So, in that case, it would definitely make for an easy redo.  My molds are LESS breakable than the finished ceramic pieces. 

Little Hands are so hard to get when they first are born, but with the molds it allows for a little more comfort for Mom and Dad!  These are examples of my molds and then prints of Reverse feet made special for a client.  If you have any other ideas that I could use, I would gladly give you a free piece if it turns out to be a hit.  Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Just Delivered Valentines Giveaway!

~My Valentine Giveaway to Heather Williams of Pearl, MS~
Heather Chose an "H"  charm with March's birthstone on a 16" necklace!

I think it turned out beautiful and have had several requests since this morning from customers wishing to add their own letters and stones to their thumbprint jewelry.  I would like to see someone order their letters on some earrings with a larger Script letter pendant necklace.  I think I could probably get $35 for the set plus whatever chain they choose!  A nice addition to any other jewelry you already have :)

Love Little Trilby Grace!

Just finished up with little Trilby Grace's prints from River Oaks Suites Tonight!  Isn't that a cool name?  It looks great on the platter, and I am so excited about the molds Erin ordered.  She wanted to keep those feet and hand prints in case someone else wanted one.  Sooooo sweet and cute, and what a great family she has been born into.  Mom and Dad were super sweet and I was so relaxed while printing.  I felt like family!  She was hands down the quietest little baby I've ever done before.  I don't even remember her fussing at all, even after sticking those little prints into my cold clay.  Watch out Erin, I learned with my first one that that only lasts the first night :)  Thanks for letting me print those little newborn hands and feet Erin :)

I love my JOB if you can call it that :P
