I think its an excellent product, unusual and what a great gift it would make.I'm looking to get hold of a kit for my 8 year old, she loves art and what a great way to express herself.

Looks like a great idea. You mentioned birth stones so perhaps this would be something you could do at a birthday party. We liked the idea - good luck. Mike & Lou

It's a greta idea, but seems similar to the hand casting kit, as sold on the 'I want one of those' site.

Hello dognabbit,thank you for your comment. The casting kit on the 'I want one of those' site, is similar to what we do but the positioning of the hand is very important and different to how we do it, also we do not paint our hand casts, we supply a special formulated lacquer to preserve and protect the fine detailed surface. Many Thanks, the object is an actual part of the finished sculpture not seperate from it.

I agree with dognabbit, there's a lot of these about - just Googled and found about 5 or 6 other companies making moulds of a similar nature. I guess your selling point is the vase effect with flowers etc - which if you can develop the quality in your video and can get into a large retailer, perhaps Ikea etc it could work.
