Made for one person, or one pet
A likeness you can hold.
Send us photos of a person or a pet, and we turn them into a bust or a small figurine. The piece is modelled from your photos, printed in fine-detail resin, cleaned and prepared, then painted by hand in our London studio, down to the colour of the eyes and the markings in the fur. It makes a personal gift for a birthday or an anniversary, a family keepsake, or a memorial for someone who is missed. Every piece is custom made, so the price depends on the size, the detail, the painting and your deadline. Send your idea and photos first, and we will advise on the best option. UK delivery and international orders can be arranged with your quote.

A few useful answers
Before we get started
Can you make a bust of my pet?
Yes. Dogs, cats and other animals can be made as a bust or a full figurine. Send clear photos that show the face, the markings and the colours of the coat, and mention anything distinctive, like a collar or a favourite pose.
Can you make a memorial piece for a person or pet who has passed away?
Yes. Send the photos you have, even if they are older or there are only a few. We will look at them with you and say honestly whether more angles would help the likeness, before you commit to anything.
What photos should I send?
Several clear, well-lit photos: straight on, from each side and at a three-quarter angle. For a person, include the hairstyle and clothing you want. For a pet, include close-ups of the face and any markings.
Should I choose a bust or a full figurine?
A bust focuses on the face, from the head and shoulders to the upper chest, and suits a portrait. A full figurine shows the whole person or animal, and suits a pose, an outfit or a favourite spot. We can advise when you send your photos.
Can I see what it might look like first?
Try our free figurine generator: upload a photo, choose Bust only, and it makes a picture of an idea to help you choose a style. The picture is only an idea. The real piece is sculpted and painted by hand, and we agree the details with you before starting.
How much does a custom bust cost?
It depends on the size, the level of detail, the painting and your deadline. Send your photos and idea for a quote, with the price and timing agreed before any work starts.
Do you deliver outside London?
Yes. Pieces are posted across the UK and internationally. Include your delivery destination, and any date you need it by, in your enquiry.
