Something to keep forever....My friends husband got her a lovely gift for Christmas. it was his wedding ring finger print and the childrens finger print in silver and made into a charm for her key ring and mobile. I sat and thought how wonderful it would be to get one of my cats paw prints captured forever. I have had 4 lovely water colours done of our first 4 - Jasper, Willow, Amber and Jefferson and it is lovely to see them with Jasper and Amber no longer with us. I also have a little box with some of their fur in too, in my jewellery box. But this paw print idea has really got me. So I am going to try to take Jefferson's paw print as he is "my boy" and have it put onto a hand bag charm. i just think to have something like that would be really special. I hand reared him and to have that paw captured in something forever that treaded you, has chased, played and bitten you and left paw prints on your heart is a nice idea, I have found someone who has been thinking of doing animal prints and she has sent me the stuff to give it a go so I am going to try tomorrow to get jeffersons print in a mould. If I get a good paw print in the mould I will send it back to this lady and she will let me know if she can turn it into something. To have a handbag charm made in silver will cost me around the £40 mark but I think that is not bad for something so special. I can clip it onto my bag and see it every day and when I go away I can take it with me. Am I nuts thinking this is a nice idea and what do you think of the price? My hubby isn't too sure but he knows I want something special of jefferson and I thought this was ideal. What do you think?????

I think thats a lovely idea and £40 isnt an awful lot for a special keepsake. Might try that with the Diva but I bet she rips my face off first  |

I think it is really lovely too and may do it myself. There are model sets for childrens handprints in bookshops which are cheaper you could practice first with them I suppose |

I think it is a really lovely idea. Do let us all know how it turns out. I don't think £40 is very expensive for such a long lasting keepsake of Jefferson. |

My friend at work has a gold necklace & on it are her 2 daughters fingerprints imprinted onto oval shaped gold "things" it is one of the most beauriful things I have ever seen. It nearly brought a tear to my eye, it's just so sweet.  Her hubby got it for a surprise. their girls are 3 & 5.I think this sounds great. do let us know how it goes. |

I think it's a fantastic Idea! I was thinking the other day of trying to make a plaster cast of a cat pawprint made into a display like you can get with kids foot / hand prints hehe. I hadn't gotten much further than just thinking about it  |

LOL, Grete, getting them to sit still and let you take their paw for an imprint probably won't be easy! One year I decided I'd have Su-ling, my Siamese, put his paw print on my Christmas cards....well, I managed to do two before he decided this was a bad idea! And touching Leia's feet is a no-no!! Tummy, OK, feet...forget it!!! |
