Custom Art, Real Stories: A Shiba - Inspired Keepsake

This pendant started with a little uncertainty...
My client came to me at the Warrington Market with a special request — a pendant of her beloved dog.

Her pup is a mix breed, and we weren’t sure which 3D model to use.
She was torn between Akita and Pomeranian...
After some discussion with her dad, they made a brave decision — to go with the Shiba model.

It may not look exactly like her dog at first glance...
But that’s where the magic of hand-painting comes in.

With each brushstroke, I bring out her dog’s spirit — the soft markings, the warm eyes, the tiniest details that hold a world of love.

It’s always an honour to be trusted with a piece like this.
Thank you for believing in me, and for letting me create something so personal and precious.

This is more than just a pendant.
It’s a memory.
A bond.
And a story — told in colour and care.
