The ones who waited at the door

Pets & Animals

A portrait, a nose print, or a paw — kept in slate, in metal, or on a keyring you carry. Not only dogs and cats: horses, birds, whatever waited for you.

From $55

Every piece includes a video of it being made · a walnut box when the size allows · remake or full refund

From one good photo

From one good photo

A single clear photograph is enough. We work the face you knew — the set of the ears, the look in the eyes — into the stone. Many veterinary offices may be able to help capture a paw or nose print if you ask.

More than stone

It does not have to be slate. A nose print or a paw goes onto a metal tag or a keyring just as well — something to keep on you rather than set on a shelf. Same care, whichever you choose. That dachshund took as many passes as any portrait we cut.

No surprises

01

Send what you have

A photo or a scan, and a line about it. Not sure it will work? That is exactly the message to send.

02

We send a proof

You see it laid out before anything is cut. Nothing is charged until you have said yes.

03

We cut it once

Cut, boxed, and posted by hand — with the film of it being made.

Start a piece

Tell us what you have. If you are not sure whether it will work, that is exactly the message to send — we would rather talk you out of something than sell it to you.

We read every one of these ourselves and reply within a day. Nothing is cut, and nothing is charged, until you have seen a proof and said yes.

Taken on a phone in daylight is fine. Keep the original wherever it is — we never need it sent.
