Welcome to a place where you can preserve the beauty you treasure! My name is Danika, and I'd like to introduce myself in a few words: mother, wife, teacher, artist, writer/poet, creator, individualist, and lover of the dark & unusual.
Why cast breasts? I was inspired by one of my dearest friends, who was diagnosed with breast cancer and faced losing a part of her treasured femininity. I offered to mold, cast, and create that treasured piece of her so she could cherish it as timeless art. The end result was both stunning and meaningful. She urged me to offer this opportunity to other women; not just for reasons such as hers, but for any woman. I wholeheartedly agree that this is a unique art and a capturing of our beauty as women and mothers. Weather you are choosing a personal aesthetic "upgrade," presenting your partner with an intimate gift, or simply want to showcase your femininity, let me make you art!
Why cast faces? As a mother, I truly adore watching my sons grow and become the young men they are meant to be. Time flies, so I decided to cast and mold their young faces for myself (and for them when they are adults). These face casts turned out to be such eye-catching art displayed in our home.
Behind each piece of art is a story. I have a story; let me help you showcase yours.
I welcome you to browse my ever-expanding portfolio gallery, and choose how you want to showcase yourself and what you treasure as a timeless work of art.
I truly look forward to meeting you!
Stay Gold,
"D"
"She was beautiful, but not like those girls in the magazines. She was beautiful for the way she thought. She was beautiful for the sparkle in her eyes when she talked about something she loved. She was beautiful for her ability to make other people smile, even if she was sad. No, she wasn't beautiful for something as temporary as her looks. She was beautiful, deep down to her soul."
-F. Scott Fitzgerald
Plaster molds take 45 minutes from start to finish (Chest or face).
Casting can be finished in Epoxy-coated plaster or fired and glazed ceramic clay. Both are durable and beautiful.
Finalizing and perfecting the art entails sanding, buffing, sealing, glazing or painting, firing, and adding personalization.

Plaster or ceramic/clay are the two options offered.
Throughout the process, a variety of materials are used including skin-safe silicone, plaster, ceramic clay, glaze, acrylic paint, and non-toxic topic release agent during the molding phase.
Completion times vary depending on the complexity of the project and the materials used. However, we strive to provide the fastest turnaround times possible. Plaster sculptures are usually completed in 4-6 weeks, and ceramic clay is usually complete in approximately 6-8 weeks (due to drying, firing, and glazing). All completed artwork will be held with care for you at the studio for pick-up.
Yes. Any product that touches the skin in the molding phase is non-toxic. If you have an allergy to any ingredient in plaster, this option is not recommended.
I take care in handling your art during the process, though accidents sometimes occur. If so, I will promptly reach out personally to discuss details and completion date.
