Our Hand and Foot Castings

See examples of our work below.

We use the finest materials to make our castings. We don't disclose precisely what we use (trade secret, you know, developed by our mentor and teacher Lynne Widdison and we told her we would not disclose her secrets), but rest assured it is fine material, chosen by Lynne from her twenty years of experience doing hand and foot castings. It looks like plaster and we sometimes refer to it as plaster, but it is not the typical "plaster of paris" that you would buy at the local craft store. It is a strong casting material proven by Lynne over the last 20 years.

Our castings are strong but of course may break if dropped as would any ceramic or figurine-type item.

We do not use any type of protective coating on our castings, mainly because we don't know the long-term effects of such a coating. Also, Lynne Widdison does not use or recommend such a coating. Handle your castings with clean hands and keep them in a curio cabinet or buy a dome and base from us to protect them and keep them dust free.

Here are a few examples of castings we've made. You may find these examples useful as ideas for a casting you would like.

 

 

Some of our work and ideas for you:

 

One of our favorites.

Notice the cute crossed toes on this little baby's foot. Baby feet castings are neat. They are so small and the detail in the casting is incredible. And it won't be long until people look at the casting and say, "I can't believe her feet were that small just a few months ago."

The wrinkles, the lines, every little detail is there.

 

 

 

Looks like a real hand. Some will recognize this as our "Hold to the Iron Rod" pose. Note the detail on the CTR ring. Another view below:
