What is Tiny Toes Lifecast Sculpture?
A Lifecast Sculpture, produced direct from an actual impression of your child’s Hand or foot. Tiny Toes Sculptures are produced by first taking an impression from the child using a specialist moulding compound, the procedure is completely painless and takes just a couple of minutes to do. The moulding compound is a natural product made from seaweed, designed mainly for taking dental impressions. I
t is non-toxic, non-allergenic and 100% biodegradable. A positive cast is then made from the impression using Plaster or other alternative casting / laminating materials. The cast can then be refinished in a multitude of ways such as painting, polishing and Metalising. The cast can be also used to make a mould for further castings in polymer plaster, cold cast metals or stone effects using high tech resins and polymers. By producing wax casts from the mould the sculpture can be cast and finished in more ‘traditional’ materials such as Bronze, Silver or Glass. The process reproduces extraordinary detail capturing not only the shape but also the texture and folds of the skin…from a good impression, when moulded, cast and finished with care & skill even the tiniest dimples and fingerprints are visible. Tiny Toes aim is to produce a totally unique sculpture for our client, to capture the moment, to be preserved for generations to come in a beautiful piece of handcrafted objet d’art.
