Portraits in wood
People and pets drawn from your favourite photo and engraved as a one-of-a-kind portrait — dogs, horses, the whole family.
Explore →Hand-designed engravings that turn the people, pets, places and words you love into a keepsake made to be kept for a lifetime.
No two pieces leave the studio the same. Every engraving begins with your idea — a photograph, a few words, a name, a memory — and is drawn, refined and burned into natural wood, slate or acrylic to keep.
From the first tooth to the forever goodbye — explore the kinds of pieces brought to life in the studio. Each one is made to order around your story.

I’m a one-woman studio in Milton Keynes, designing and engraving every piece myself. What began as a love of making turned into something far more meaningful: helping people hold onto the moments, people and pets they never want to forget.
“Got an idea? Drop me a message — I’d love to design something unique.”
“I cried when I opened it. Seeing my mum’s handwriting engraved like that — it’s the most special thing I own.”
“The portrait of our dog is unbelievable. The detail, the patience, the whole thing. Worth every penny.”
“Ordered a tooth fairy hanger and ended up ordering three more for gifts. Beautiful quality and so easy to deal with.”
However half-formed it feels, send it over. Most pieces begin with a quick message — and I’ll help shape it into something kept forever.
