Dani, the maker, has been perfecting her polymer clay skills and technique since 2015 and is now based out of her home in East Gippsland, Victoria, Australia. She grew up on a farm surrounded by animals, including pet cats and dogs and this is probably where her love for animals began.
She prides herself on being able to capture the traits that make each pet unique. To help with this, please let her know if your pet has any signature facial expressions, specific markings etc that you want included.
Base Materials
The pet faces are sculpted from polymer clay, baked to harden. Depending on colours, some pets will then have details added with acrylic paint, before it is sealed.
Depending on the breed/ style, the sculptures are either glued onto the ferrite magnets or sculpted around the magnet.
Size
Generally, the average custom sculpted pet face measure approx 3-4 x 2-3 cm in order to fit over the magnet. If you wish for it to be smaller, please add a note at the checkout or let Dani know when you send through photos.
Pet photos
You’ll need to send through at least a few photos of the pet that you want the earrings modelled on. Please check out the suggested photos to send through.
Dani’s happy for you to email the photos or to message them through Instagram or the Facebook page.
Production and processing time
The average turnaround time for custom orders is 1-2 weeks, plus shipping. However, in peak periods (eg Christmas, Mother’s Day), this May be as long as 6 weeks. If there is a specific date you need the item by, feel free to make contact to avoid disappointment.
Style
Whilst the style is ‘lifelike’, there are limitations due to the miniature size and materials used, making the outcome an artistic likeness, rather than a perfect replica.
Pet memorial gift
The fridge magnets arrive beautifully packaged, so are suitable to be sent directly to the recipient, if you wish. You can even select a greeting card and Dani can write a little note within if you are purchasing as a gift.
Care instructions
Please read the care instructions prior to purchasing, to ensure you will find the item suitable.
