TALLAS TREASURES - Hand/Foot & Paw Casting

I started Talla's Treasures when i unfortunately lost my dad back in May 2017.

I was so desperate to want every piece of my dad after he passed away, which lead me to taking a hand cast of him in the co-op chapel of rest.

I found so much comfort in been able to hold his hand forever and I wanted to offer other families this service. 

I started a Facebook page and my first cast was for Bradley Lowery the Sunderland fan, who was unwell and battled neuroblastoma for 4 years.

His family were so desperate to get a cast done of little Brad, so i got in touch and offered my services as a gift.

I feel very privileged to have been able to do this for the Lowery family.

​

I take casts in many locations including mortuaries, funeral homes, veterinary clinics, residential care and personal homes.

​

I have qualified in a casting course at PRECIOUS MEMORIES KEEPSAKES with Glenda Hickmott in Poole to finalise my expertise in casting area.

I have also been able to make hanging charms which the ashes can be placed in the bottom or make resin moulds with ashes. 

​

Hand and feet castings are not just for loving memories, these can be great keepsakes and gifts for family, friends and pets paws.

​

I also recently finished a Finger print jewellery making course with Helen Drye at Silver stone company Nov 2020. 

​

So feel free to contact me with ideas and we can achieve these together 07731332588 or lauratallentire@me.com

​

​

Id also like to say a special THANK YOU to:

Makeup Artist Davy Jones from Liverpool who i trained with for 4 weeks in prosthetics.

Davy very kindly gave me money to buy the products to do my dads cast and i can not thank him enough for his kindness and genuine interest in my new venture.

​

Also my very good friend Michael Robinson sadly passed away.

Michaels wife Justine donated towards my business to help me buy the products for little Bradley as Micheal was a Sunderland football fan and he loved Bradley.

​

I also was given help from CTBF www.ctbf.co.uk for some more training in castings.  

i would like to thank this company for funds they gave me and the help and support.
