One-of-a-kind Hand or Footprint Pendant

Hello,

My husband recently purchased a really cool necklace for me for Mother's Day. He stamped my children's handprints onto a piece of paper, emailed it to a girl and she shrunk it down and put it onto a small porcelain circle tile/stone.

It's precious and I'd love to make them myself for gifts for my family. At $25 a pop, I'd prefer to make them myself if I can.

Would you be able to steer me in the right direction on the best supplies to use for this kind of craft? I know the girl used some kind of decal and also used a kiln at 800 degrees to ensure longevity.

Any suggestions? Thanks so much for any help you can offer me!

Jennifer

Hi Jennifer,

I found the precious porcelain necklaces you refer to at Lisa Newport Stevens’ SeaUrchin etsy shop. You are the proud owner of a one-of-a-kind piece by a rather well-known ceramic artist and sculptor. Lisa Newport was a senior sculptor at Aardman Animations, the producers of the “Wallace and Gromit” stop action animation films, among others.
