Ash Cremain Embedded Memorial Plaster Portraits

"A Touching Way To Remember"

What your furry companion leaves behind is a legacy of unconditional love.  Deciding how to pay tribute to you pet’s life can be overwhelming.  We offer an unmatched memorial that combines the respectable option of an urn with the accentuated beauty of an original, distinguished plaster portrait.  Once your photograph and style of portrait has been chosen, Gretchen will consult with you and explain the dignified process of acquiring the ashes for the memorial portrait. Your pet’s ashes are mixed into the plaster allowing the final resting place to be as unique as the love you shared.

 

 

 3-D Plaster Portraits

"Art That Welcomes Your Touch"

These dimensional plaster portraits offer a one-of-a-kind medium that uniquely appeals to your sense of sight and touch.  Working for many years creating textured walls helped prepare me for an art form that is close to my heart.  My appreciation of touch came from watching my mother teach children who were blind how to experience life through touch… My hope is one’s hand is drawn to the art before the eye and after the heart.

 Portraits are created using  photographs.  After a photograph has been decided on and the style, either traditional or pop art, has been selected, the process begins.  First, a lime-based plaster background is created on the board.  This foundation is then covered with multiple layers of water-based plaster.  The plaster is manipulated and accentuated using artist tools, colorants, and sealant.  The completed piece is then shipped to your desired address.  We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
