Reference
What makes a good reference
The clearer the photograph, the closer the finished piece sits to the moment you remember.
- Even, soft front light — skip harsh flash and deep shadows.
- A clear front view, plus a three-quarter angle when you can.
- Keep the subject large in the frame; quiet backgrounds help.
- Pets: face-on and a side profile make the sculpt truer.
Full guidelines on Reference.
- Preview before print
- Hand-finished
- No print until you approve
Process
From memory to something you can hold
Nothing is printed until you approve the sculpt. Custom work carries labor. Ready pieces keep the farm running.
We reply within 1–2 business days. After approval, most pieces ship in roughly two to five weeks — confirmed with your quote.
01
Upload a photo
Clear, front-lit photos or a drawing of what you want to hold. We reply with scope, size options, and a quote.
02
Approve the sculpt
You receive a preview. Nothing is printed until you approve — so the finished piece matches the moment you remember.
03
Print, finish, ship
Only after your yes do we print, finish by hand, pack carefully, and send tracking when it leaves the studio.
Studio example
Packaging
Packed so the moment arrives intact
Each piece is wrapped, braced, and labeled — because what you remember deserves to arrive whole. Free postage on orders over $200. Tracking is sent when the box leaves the studio.
Custom work carries labor. Ready pieces keep the farm running. Custom commissions: no return after approval except for defect. See shipping for the full policy.
FAQ
Questions before you begin
- Do you print before I approve?
- No. Nothing is printed until you approve the sculpt. The moment stays yours until you say yes.
- How long for a custom piece?
- We reply within 1–2 business days. Preview and ship times depend on the piece; we confirm them with your quote.
- What photos work best?
- Even light, a clear front view, and at least one three-quarter angle. See Reference for the full guidelines.
