Them, hanging on the tree
A small figure of your pet, your child or the two of you, sculpted from photos, with a loop for the tree and the year on it.
Your idea, made real
Most families have a few ornaments that come out every December and get a story each time. A small figure of the dog, the baby or the two of you in Santa hats, with the year on it, becomes one of those. Each year adds another, and the tree turns into a record of who was there.
What to send us
- A clear photo of the face of each person or pet, and a full length or side on photo.
- Whether you want them in Santa hats, jandals, a Christmas jersey, or just as they are.
- The name and the year, exactly as you want them.
- Whether it should hang from a loop, or stand on a small base as well.
- How many you want, if you are making one for each member of the family.
Small, light and made to hang
An ornament has to be light enough for a branch and tough enough to be packed away every January. We keep it small, build the loop into the sculpt rather than gluing it on, and keep thin parts sturdy.
At this size a slightly stylised look, with a bigger head, reads best from across the room. True to life is possible, but the face is very small.
You see renders before anything is printed and can ask for changes. It is then printed in resin and painted by hand.
Size, material and finish
- Size
- Small, around 10cm or a little less, so it hangs without bending the branch.
- Colour
- Hand painted, full colour, or a full colour print.
- Material
- Resin, light and detailed.
- Base
- A loop for the tree, or a small base so it can stand as well.
- Copies
- One for each person or pet in a matching style, or copies of the same one for the grandparents.
How long it takes
Christmas does not move, and sculpting and painting take time, so send your photos early and put the date you need it by in the form. The quote comes back with a lead time and an honest answer on whether it can be met.
Questions
Can we add one every year?
Yes. Next year's ornament can be made in the same style and size as this one, so they look like a set on the tree.
Will it break if it falls off the tree?
It is far tougher than a glass bauble, and the loop is printed as part of it rather than glued on. A fall onto a hard floor can still chip something small.
Can we get copies for the grandparents?
Yes, and it is a good one for them. Put how many copies on the form.
