Testimonial

"I thought you would appreciate some feedback on the contactless casting. I'm really pleased to say it went really well. Gina was an absolute delight bless her and she produced lovely moulds. She was very happy with the product and also with the instructions. It is something I can really see working. I also liked the moulds, the alginate felt really nice. I also noticed the easy mixing instructions. My alginate has always been great but it seems more labour intensive."

Luxury Vintage Ornate Frames

Our Luxury Vintage frames are made from an ornate front moulding with a 5cm pine box neatly attached to the back to create depth for the casts. They come in four colours. The pine box is painted white on the inside for a nicer finish. The frames come ready-assembled so you do not have to deal with fiddly screws or loose panes of glass and it is easy to take the back off to mount your casts. They can be hung landscape or portrait.

For a comparison of the different frame shapes and sizes please take a look at our Choosing a Frame page. You can purchase any frame on its own or add baby casting materials to convert them into a full kit.

  
Choosing a frame

To help you decide which frame colour and paint combination to choose you can ask yourself a few questions, such as:


  • Where will I hang my frame - do I need to match it to the decor of an existing room?
  • Do I want to include a landscape or portrait photo in the frame?
  • How many 3D hand and foot casts/clay impressions do I want - 1, 2 or 4?
  • What combination of hands and feet do I want?
  • What size frame do I want? Our frames are measured in GLASS SIZE.
  • What colour should the frame rim be?
  • What colour should the casts/impressions be?
  • What colour should the front and back mounts be?
  • Do I want an under mount to create a stepped, two-colour effect for my front mount?
  • Do I want an engraved name-plate with my child's name and age? Which colour? Which font?
