Bronzed Memories, Fishers

The staff at Bronzed Memories molds exact replicas of children's handprints and footprints, creating keepsakes designed to trigger a flood of cherished recollections for years to come. In a two-step process, they make an impression of children's actual hands or feet, then fills that impression with bronze. The team mounts finished prints on plaques, on paperweights, or inside shadowboxes, providing parents tangible reminders of when their children were small enough to fit in a booster seat or in the comforting arms of a gorilla at the zoo. Though Bronzed Memories can work with kids of any age, the staff suggests bringing them in for impressions while they're still tiny, so that years later, family members will be astounded at how much they've grown.
